UFC Names Hart Tools As Official Power Tool Partner In The U.S.

Under the new agreement, HART Tools will become UFC’s Official Power Tool Partner in the U.S., marking the first time UFC has opened up this category to a marketing partner.

“We’re excited to have HART Tools join us as an official partner and break ground in a new  category,” said Grant Norris-Jones, Head of Global Partnerships at TKO.  “Power Tools is one of a few categories for which we have been eager to find the right partner fit, and we believe that HART Tools checks all the boxes.  In turn, UFC events can provide HART Tools with the major visibility they’re looking for as a challenger brand.  We’re excited to help them grow their business.”

“At HART Tools, we're thrilled to partner with UFC, bringing together two worlds of passion and performance,” said Heath Johnston, President of HART Tools.  “We're excited to equip UFC fans with the tools they need to tackle any project with power and confidence, all at an unbeatable value.  Join us in unleashing the power of performance in and out of the Octagon!”
