The
Black and Decker company was founded by S.
Duncan Black and Alonzo G. Decker in Baltimore
around 1900. From its drill pistol grip patent
in 1917 and its first foreign subsidiary in Canada
in the Year 1922, the company grew to one of
the biggest global players in today’s power
tools and machinery market. Today the company
is listed at the New York Stock Exchange (Ticker
Symbol BDK).
Blacker
and Decker with its strong Emhart and DeWalt
brands serves woodworkers and hobbyists all
over the planet. With its latest acquisition
of the Porter Cable, Oldham Saw, Delta, De
vilbiss and flex businesses, Black and Decker
improved its market position in the woodworking
business even more.
The
Black & Decker brand on its own carries
a full line of power tools at prices customers
can afford. The company also offers cleaning
supplies and small kitchen appliances. It is
known all over the world as the leading manufacturer
of home and garden tools. Amongst its most well
known products for the woodworker are the innovations
in the cordless drill area, the workmate
workbench and most recently its laser
levelling system.
