Stanley Black & Decker To Sell Delta
Stanley Black & Decker Selling Delta Machinery
I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise when I read this week that Stanley Black & Decker is selling the Delta Machinery brand. According to sources at Popular Woodworking Magazine the Delta brand will be sold to TOTY, a Taiwanese company that currently produces tools for Stanley Black & Decker, Craftsman and Ryobi.
According to sources the company will be renamed Delta Power Equipment and move it’s headquarters to Anderson, S.C. Sources also indicate that Bryan Whiffen, who is currently the senior vice president for product development at Techtronic Industries North America Inc (TTI).
At this time the details of the sale and future organization are limited. As details emerge we’ll be sure to share them with you.
As someone who really respects the quality of Delta tools I sure hope the change in ownership doesn’t change the quality. Time will tell!!
