SPIT (or Société de prospection et d'inventions techniques) was founded in 1951 in the Drôme region. Its head office is in Bourg-lès-Valence, near Valence. The company was founded by an engineer from the Manufacture Générale des Munitions, who had the idea of revolutionizing power tools by combining gunpowder with a nailer. SPIT was an immediate success. Today, SPIT is a French manufacturer specializing in fastening solutions for building professionals. It has three production units in the Drôme region and an R&D department that registers 100 patents a year and develops 10 new products. SPIT employs 570 people in France and generates annual sales of around 200 million euros; it manufactures over 95% of its products in Europe, 70% of which in France. Since 1986, SPIT has been one of the brands of the ITW (Illinois Tool Works) group, which was founded in 1921 in Chicago by inventors and specializes in industrial equipment. In 1993, SPIT invented its famous orange gas nailer, which would remain a world exclusive for 10 years, giving its customers a head start. Historically focused on building professionals and cavers, SPIT has also designed specific products for homeowners, with its products for sealing (chemical, metal-plastic plugs, self-drilling), nailing, screwing and perforating. SPIT also manufactures lasers.
