The Story of Black & Decker

Black & Decker debuted in the early 1900s when two young entrepreneurs, S. Duncan Black and Alonzo G. Decker, founded a small machine shop in Baltimore and called it the Black & Decker Manufacturing Company. They started with an initial investment of $1,200 and originally made specialized machinery for candy dipping, cotton picking, milk-bottle capping, and postage-stamp splitting. Since then, the company has grown into a global marketer and manufacturer of quality products used in and around the home and for commercial applications. In 1984 Black & Decker expanded its product lines into the kitchen and inside the home with irons, toaster ovens, mixers, blenders, coffeemakers, and more. Today the company's household products focus on resourcefulness in small appliance design and manufacture with product lines that range from Brew 'N Go personal-size coffeemakers and Gizmo cordless (and mountable) can openers to Ergo appliances.
