In 1910, S. Duncan Black and Alonzo Decker decided to found the Black & Decker Manufacturing Company. The company initially worked as a subcontractor, manufacturing products to order for other businesses. In 1917, their first own product was a portable compressor, but their real breakthrough product was the electric handheld drill they introduced the same year. By the end of the decade, the company had several factories and revenue of over one million dollars.

Today, BLACK + DECKER manufactures power tools, garden machines, small home appliances and many other products. The brand continues to build its strong global presence by launching new products and competitions. At the same time, the brand engages customers by communicating why its products belong in homes around the world and how they can make everyday life easier.
