CLC Market Overview

According to Grips Intelligence, CLC—a brand of Hultafors Group, owned by Investment AB Latour (STO: LATO B)—posted strong in-store performance between January 1 and June 30, 2026, with revenue tracked across Ace Hardware, Lowe's, Menards, and Amazon growing 18.4% over the period. Ace Hardware dominated the channel mix, accounting for 61.4% of revenue share, followed by Lowes.com at 20.4% and Menards at 15.8%, while Amazon contributed just 2.4%. The average product price held at $24.22, edging down 1.1% across the period even as the most recent month saw a modest 1.0% uptick to $24.02. Pricing varied widely by retailer, with Menards skewing toward higher-ticket items such as tool aprons and backpacks priced above $60, versus lower average price points at Ace Hardware and Lowe's. These Grips Intelligence figures point to heavy concentration in the specialty hardware channel, a dynamic worth watching as the brand balances retail partnerships heading into the second half of 2026.
