Techtronic purchased Milwaukee Electric Tool from Atlas Copco in 2005 and began integrating lithium-ion batteries into their lineup.[13][8]

TTI's revenue grew from US$63.19 million in 1990 to $785.2 million in 2001. From 2010 to 2019, its sales rose at a compounded annual growth rate of 10 percent.[14][3][9]
