Black+Decker Milk Frother

Black+Decker is an iconic American brand founded in 1910 by S. Duncan Black and Alonzo G. Decker in Baltimore, Maryland. While originally famous for its power tools and the invention of the portable electric drill, the brand expanded significantly into small household appliances. Modern manufacturing for these consumer electronics is primarily centered in China to leverage global supply chain efficiencies, although the brand maintains a global footprint.

In terms of corporate ownership, the Black+Decker brand underwent a major shift in 2010 when it merged with Stanley Works to form Stanley Black & Decker. However, the licensing for small kitchen appliances is often managed through strategic partnerships. In many regions, including North America and parts of Latin America, the Black+Decker brand for kitchen products is licensed to Spectrum Brands. Stanley Black & Decker remains the ultimate owner of the core trademark, headquartered in Connecticut, USA.
