In 1843, an enterprising
businessman named Frederick
Trent Stanley established
a little shop in New Britain,
Connecticut to manufacture
door bolts and other hardware
from wrought iron. Stanley's Bolt Manufactory was only
one of dozens of small
foundries and other backyard
industries in town struggling
to make a go of it by turning
out metal products. But
Stanley possessed a special
innovative spirit and an
uncommon passion for doing
things right and his modest
enterprise prospered and
grew as The Stanley Works.
Today,
163 years after the company's
founding, The Stanley Works
is a worldwide manufacturer
and marketer of tools, hardware
and specialty hardware products
for home improvement, consumer,
industrial and professional
use. The company stills bears
not only Frederick Stanley's
name but also the spirit
and passion that drove him
to succeed where others failed.
The essence of that drive
was summed up in 1877 by
a widely read trade publication,
Asher & Adam's Pictorial Album of American Industry:
"The
secret of this company's
success is an open one --
all who will may avail themselves
of it, and all who do so
will succeed -- one word
tells it all and that one
word is -- Excellence."
