Acme United Corp (ACU, Financial) has reported a slight increase in revenue for the first quarter of 2025, reaching $45.958 million compared to $44.956 million during the same period last year. This reflects a positive start to the year as the company builds on its successes from 2024.
The growth in net sales was bolstered by a notable 14% rise in their first aid segment. This increase underlines the company's strategic focus and successful execution in this sector.
However, the momentum was offset by a decline in the sales of Westcott cutting tools. This downturn was attributed to an unusually strong first quarter last year, which benefited from a significant initial shipment of craft items to a major U.S. retailer. That successful product launch generated a spike in sales, a situation that did not recur this year.
