The Black & Decker Company was founded by two young entrepreneurs, S. Duncan Black and Alonzo G. Decker. This duo started with a small machine shop in Baltimore, Maryland, and then named the small enterprise, The Black & Decker Manufacturing Company.
Since then from a small shop the company has grown amazingly in terms of production, marketing, sales and all other factors that have added success in their lives, which was beyond their imaginations.
Black & Decker presently is a global marketer and manufacturer
of quality power tools and accessories, hardware and home improvement products, and technology based fastening systems. The company's products are marketed in over 100 countries and approximately half of its revenue comes from outside the United States.
