Stanley Black & Decker, founded in 1843, designs, manufactures and sells tools and outdoor products for professional tradespeople, builders, industrial users and DIY consumers. It has approximately 41,000 employees and manufacturing facilities worldwide.
The company reports two segments:
- **Tools & Outdoor**: power tools, hand tools, storage, digital jobsite solutions, and outdoor and lifestyle products. This segment accounted for about $3.3 billion of the $3.7 billion in third-quarter 2026 sales.
- **Engineered Fastening**: engineered fasteners serving industrial and automotive end markets.
Its brand portfolio includes DEWALT, CRAFTSMAN, STANLEY, BLACK+DECKER and Cub Cadet. Products are sold mainly through U.S. retail and commercial & industrial channels, plus Europe and Rest of World markets.
The company has been reshaping its portfolio. It completed the sale of its Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing (CAM) business in April 2026 and moved gas walk-behind outdoor products to a licensing model. It is also pursuing supply chain transformation and footprint rationalization, including plant closures, to expand margins. Updated
