STANLEY History
ONE MAN, ONE VISION, 170 YEARS OF SUCCESS
In 1843, Frederick T. Stanley founded “The Stanley Works”, a small company that manufactured hinges, bolts and other door hardware in New Britain, Connecticut.
His vision was to offer products that would become the first choice among professionals around the world.
Thanks to the increasing demand for his high-quality products, Mr. Stanley began exporting in the 1870s.
BY 1920, STANLEY BRAND HARDWARE WAS PREFERRED
Soon his rapidly growing business established its first production facilities outside the U.S. By 1920, STANLEY brand hardware was preferred, and could be found on every continent.
