Our story

Built on Craft. Driven by Precision.

Since 2002, Green Plus Industries has designed and engineered tools that makers, workshops and factories trust to get the job done — beautifully, and for a lifetime.

How we started

From a One-Bench Workshop to a Global Brand

It began with a frustrated furniture maker and a blunt chisel. Our founder, Marcus Reed, couldn't find professional-grade tools at a fair price — so he started forging his own. Word spread quickly through the Portland maker community.

Two decades later, that one-bench workshop has grown into a globally trusted brand supplying over 1,200 tool models to 80+ countries. But our values haven't changed: exceptional materials, honest pricing, and tools you'll hand down to the next generation.

  • Family-founded
  • Maker-first design
  • ISO-certified QC
  • Direct-to-maker pricing
  • What we stand for

    Values That Shape Every Tool We Make

    Four principles guide our design, sourcing and service — every single day.

    Uncompromising Quality

    We test every tool to failure before it ever reaches a shelf. If it can't survive the workshop, it doesn't ship.

    Fair, Honest Pricing

    By selling direct and cutting middlemen, we put premium tools within reach of every serious maker.

    Real Human Support

    Our team are makers themselves. Ask a technical question and you'll get an answer from someone who's used the tool.

    Built to Last

    Sustainability isn't a buzzword — a tool that lasts a lifetime is the greenest tool there is. Hence the name.
