Ics® Diamond Tools

What Ics® Diamond Tools does

ICS Diamond Tools designs and manufactures diamond-chain concrete cutting systems, power cutters, flat saws, wall and wire saws, and core drills sold under the ICS, Merit, and Pentruder brands. The company's foundation is its patented Diamond Chain Technology, introduced in 1990 as the world's first diamond chain for concrete cutting and evolved through the FORCE3, FORCE4, and CrossLINK platforms, with consumables designed and manufactured in Portland, Oregon. ICS operates as a subsidiary of Oregon Tool, Inc., a diversified global manufacturer whose products reach more than 115 countries, with ICS directly selling through an authorized dealer and service-center network across 70+ countries plus a Belgium sales office supporting Europe and exclusive Americas distribution rights for Pentruder high-frequency wall and wire saws.

The business earns revenue primarily through one-time sales of capital equipment (gas, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electric power cutters and flat saws) and recurring sales of consumable diamond chains, guidebars, drive sprockets, and accessories. Pricing follows an MSRP/catalog model with promotional rebates (e.g., a $50 rebate on core drills, motors, and hand saws running May–July 2026) and a financing partnership with Magellan Capital Partners offering application-only approvals from $10,000–$150,000 and hard-asset financing up to $250,000 over up to 84 months. Customers are professional concrete cutters, water utilities and municipalities (notably for PowerGrit pipe cutting), general contractors and remodelers, HVAC/plumbing/electrical trades, and specialty contractors, reached through a hybrid channel that combines a 70-country authorized dealer network, an e-commerce-enabled website with dealer locator and demo-request capabilities, and ecosystem partnerships with CARDI (core drills, Diamond Pulse-Tech handsaws) and Stihl (FORCE4 conversion kit for GS 461).
