AMETEK Atlas Material Testing Technology

In 1843, Frederick Trenck Stanley founded The Stanley Works with a vision to create high-quality tools that would stand the test of time. What began as a small bolt manufacturer in New Britain, Connecticut, would eventually transform into the world's largest tool company. Over nearly two centuries, the company evolved through strategic acquisitions and innovations, most notably merging with Black & Decker in 2010 to form Stanley Black & Decker as we know it today. This union brought together two iconic brands with a shared commitment to quality, creating a powerhouse in tools, engineered fastening, and industrial equipment. Today, Stanley Black & Decker operates as a worldwide leader in the tools and outdoor industry, with 50 manufacturing facilities in the USA and more than 100 worldwide. The company's portfolio of trusted brands - including DEWALT, BLACK+DECKER, Stanley, and CRAFTSMAN - provides the tools and innovative solutions that makers, doers, and protectors rely on every day. With 50,000 employees globally, the company continues its legacy of innovation, investing in cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices while remaining true to its founding principle of delivering products you can trust to get the job done right.
