Show Notes
Stanley Black and Decker, once a New Britain, Connecticut staple, announces closure of its last manufacturing plant, ending 180+ years of production in the Hardware City. The decision, due to waning demand for tape measures, affects 600 workers. The company promises support, including job transfers, severance, and job placement assistance. New Britain Mayor Bobby Sanchez expresses disappointment, while city leaders collaborate with state agencies for worker training. Stanley, founded in 1843, has faced challenges like tariffs and a sales dip, but new CEO Chris Nelson aims to turnaround the company with cost cuts and business unit sales.
