Milwaukee Electric Tool Files Lawsuit Against Lowes for $1.2 Million

Posted on September 11, 2023 by Philbert Jackson

Introduction

Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp. has taken legal action against Lowe’s Inc., claiming that the home improvement giant owes them over $1.2 million. The dispute stems from tools shipped by Milwaukee Electric prior to the termination of their partnership in 2008.

Background

In September 2006, Milwaukee Electric signed an agreement to supply power tools to Lowe’s stores. As part of the deal, Milwaukee Electric shipped tools to Lowe’s in 2007. However, the supplier relationship between the two companies was not renewed in 2008.

The Lawsuit

Milwaukee Electric has filed a lawsuit in Waukesha County Circuit Court against Lowe’s and Lowe’s Home Centers Inc., both based in Mooresville, North Carolina, and Madison, Wisconsin, respectively. The lawsuit claims that at the end of the agreement, Lowe’s owed Milwaukee Electric more than $1.2 million. Instead of paying the outstanding balance, Lowe’s issued its own payment credit, which Milwaukee Electric alleges was unauthorized and inappropriate.

Seeking Justice

Despite Milwaukee Electric’s demands for payment, Lowe’s has refused to fulfill its financial obligations, according to the lawsuit. As a result, Milwaukee Electric is now seeking the outstanding balance in addition to attorney’s fees and other costs incurred during this legal dispute.

No Comments from Lowe’s

When approached for comment, a spokesman for Lowe’s declined to provide any details or statements pertaining to the ongoing lawsuit.
