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. Initially a small machine shop, it revolutionized the tool industry in 1917 by inventing the portable electric drill with a pistol grip and trigger switch. Over the decades, the company expanded into household appliances, acquiring General Electric's small appliance division in 1984.

In 2010, the company underwent a major transformation by merging with Stanley Works to form Stanley Black & Decker. This merger created a global leader in tools, storage, and home products. Today, while some products like specialized drills are manufactured in locations like Uberaba, Brazil, many of the brand's smaller kitchen electrics and accessories, such as this milk frother, are typically manufactured in China to leverage global supply chains. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Stanley Black & Decker, headquartered in Connecticut, USA.
