Henry Ziemann, a master carpenter, founded the Empire Level Manufacturing Corporation back in 1919. Ziemann was the inventor of the model day level and he used this revolutionary product as the cornerstone of Empire. Within three years, Empire created the adjustable level with interchangeable and replaceable vials. Soon after followed the torpedo level, the Mono vial, the magnetic level and the first extruded aluminum rafter square. Empire later pioneered top read levels, Monster vials, interlocking T-Squares and invented the snap-in vial. Empire holds more than 30 active patents still today and continues to produce cutting edge levels such as the True Blue series. Texas Tool Traders has been an authorized Empire distributor for over 25 years by selling Empire contractor levels and squares, plumb bobs, measuring tapes, specialty tools, caution tape, and more.
