At Battle Born Clothing, based right here in Yerington, Nevada, we are excited to announce a major partnership with Continental Tool Group (CTG). This premier air tools manufacturer has selected us to handle their employee swag needs across the country.

This collaboration allows us to do what we do best: deliver high-quality, custom screen printing on premium apparel. For this project, we are utilizing the heavy-duty Independent Trading Company IND4000 hoodies, customized with designs that capture the rugged, innovative spirit of Continental Tool Group's workforce.

As a Nevada-based brand inspired by resilience, we couldn't be thrilled to support a company that shares our commitment to durability. With CTG operating a facility nearby in Carson City, this partnership is a testament to Nevada industries supporting one another.

The Origins and Evolution of Continental Tool Group

Founded in 1963, Continental Tool Group (CTG) has evolved from a focused engineering outfit into a global leader in high-performance pneumatic tools and engineered solutions. While headquartered in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, their footprint is global, including their facility in neighboring Carson City, Nevada.

CTG serves over 12,000 companies across diverse sectors. Their evolution over the last six decades reflects a dedication to precision:

• Early Years: Specialized in pneumatic tools for heavy-duty applications like impact wrenches.

• The 80s & 90s: Incorporated advanced ergonomics and noise-reduction technologies.

• Today: With acquisitions like Desco Manufacturing in 2025, they now offer surface preparation and specialized testing equipment.

Whether powering aerospace assembly lines or automotive repair bays, CTG's tools are built to last—much like the Battle Born ethos of toughness and endurance.
