What this company does
Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.
Stanley Black & Decker makes power tools, hand tools, and outdoor equipment under familiar brands like DEWALT, CRAFTSMAN, and BLACK+DECKER. The company earns most of its money selling these products to both professional contractors and everyday consumers for home improvement and construction projects. Since sales often rise and fall with the number of new homes being built and renovated, the company's performance can be an indicator of the health of the housing market.
How the company got here
Today's company was formed when two American tool giants merged in 2010: The Stanley Works and Black & Decker. The Stanley Works started back in 1843 as a simple bolt and hardware maker in Connecticut. Black & Decker was founded in a small Maryland machine shop in 1910, and a few years later it invented the world's first portable electric drill with a pistol grip and trigger, setting the stage for the modern power tool industry. Both companies grew by inventing new tools, buying other brands, and expanding around the world before finally joining forces.
What it actually does
Stanley Black & Decker makes the tools and equipment used to build and repair things in your home and garden, as well as heavy-duty products for professional construction and manufacturing. You've likely seen their well-known brands like DEWALT, CRAFTSMAN, and BLACK+DECKER in stores. Their products range from power drills, saws, and lawn mowers to the tiny, specialized fasteners that hold cars and airplanes together. They sell these items everywhere from big retailers and home centers to industrial suppliers that serve factories and aerospace companies.
Tools & Outdoor
This is the company's largest and most recognizable business, making up the vast majority of its sales. It includes a huge variety of power tools, hand tools, and outdoor equipment from iconic brands like DEWALT, STANLEY, and CRAFTSMAN. This segment serves everyone from professional contractors buying high-performance drills and saws to homeowners picking up a new lawn mower, leaf blower, or toolbox. The company organizes its brands to appeal to different users, with DEWALT aimed at professionals and BLACK+DECKER focused more on everyday household use.
Industrial
This smaller but important part of the company focuses on creating highly specialized fastening systems, not for your home toolbox, but for major industries. Think of the specific rivets, bolts, and engineered fasteners needed to assemble cars, airplanes, and electronics. This segment works directly with large manufacturers in automotive, aerospace, and other fields to design and supply the exact components they need for their production lines. For example, a huge number of cars and trucks in North America and Europe use the company's fasteners in their construction.
What management is betting on now
The company's current focus is on becoming more efficient and profitable by simplifying its operations and lowering costs. Management has been streamlining its supply chain (the network for producing and delivering goods) and reducing the number of products it offers to focus on its most successful core brands. They are also investing heavily in innovation, especially in cordless electric tools and outdoor equipment, to meet growing demand from both professionals and homeowners. A key goal is to improve the company's margins (the profit made on each dollar of sales) and generate more predictable earnings.
