Stanley Black & Decker to close Maryland tool factory. At one time, the factory employed 3,800 workers. Sep 2, 2026 On August 19, tool giant Stanley Black & Decker filed a WARN notice with the state of Maryland, alerting officials to its plans to close a 75-year-old factory. Built in 1951 to produce power tools, the Hampstead, Maryland, Black & Decker plant well preceded the 2010 merger between the former company and Stanley Works. And over the years, the company's name isn't the only thing that's changed. While Hampstead employed 3,800 by the late 1960s, by 1985 - according to reports - its power tool manufacturing production was shuttered "when efforts to modernize the plant failed." The company then began using the space mainly as a distribution center - even selling the building along the way - and maintained a small presence to date, for "powdered metal manufacturing and limited warehousing and distribution." And while a shadow of its former self, the facility does still employ about 55 workers - that is, until October, when the layoff proceedings will begin, concluding with the facility's target shutdown in March of 2027. The Baltimore Sun spoke with Stanley Black & Decker spokesperson Debora Raymond, who said the company had, over the past several years, "seen a steady decline in volume in the materials produced at [the] Hampstead facility" and, as such, the closure was pursued. Raymond said the firm was "focused on providing a smooth transition to impacted employees, including options for employment at other Stanley Black & Decker U.S. facilities and operations for salaried employees, in addition to severance and job placement support services for both salaried and hourly employees." Stanley Black & Decker announced more than 300 layoffs and a plant closure earlier this year in New Britain Connecticut - once dubbed "Hardware City." The company blamed the move on a lack of demand for single-sided tape measures. Posted by rmzpkginc Sep 2nd, 2026 8:53am I am quite sure over the years taxing the crap out of this company in a state that taxes too much helped them finally say GGOD RIDDANCE. Certainly is a shame but that is why business leave UNFRIENDLY environments. Latest in Operations

Stanley Black & Decker will close its underperforming factory in Hampstead, Maryland, laying off 55 workers. The layoffs begin on 23 October 2026, with the facility closing by 26 March 2027, according to a WARN notice filed with Maryland's Department of Labor. The company cited declining volumes in materials produced at the site. It will offer affected employees severance, job placement support, and opportunities at other US facilities. The Hampstead factory, built in 1951, once employed 3,800 workers. Stanley Black & Decker, formed through a 2010 merger, generated $15.13 billion in revenue in 2025, making it the world's largest tool company. The closure reflects broader trends of businesses shutting underperforming locations.

Trump sends Cabinet on nationwide pitch. Aug 21, 2026 - 10:16 WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump has deployed Cabinet officials across the United States to promote his administration's record on manufacturing, energy, health care, transport and border security, the White House said. The coordinated visits stretched from Alaska and California to Iowa, Ohio, Texas and Florida. Officials used factory tours, farm roundtables and public events to highlight federal spending, tax cuts and other administration policies. The White House described the travel as evidence that Trump's "America First agenda is delivering real, measurable wins for the American people". Its statement compiled recent reports from local media organisations across the country. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick visited Apple's new advanced manufacturing centre in Houston. He presented the expansion as part of Trump's campaign to restore domestic technology production. "President Trump set out to bring technological manufacturing back to America," Lutnick said. "And he's actually doing it, and he's doing it right now." In Bakersfield, California, Lutnick also joined Representative Vince Fong for a roundtable with farmers. The discussion focused on agricultural exports and challenges facing the industry. Energy Secretary Chris Wright travelled to the Permian Basin as part of the Department of Energy's "Great American Energy Comeback Tour". He visited an ExxonMobil oil rig with Representative August Pfluger and promoted the administration's push for greater US energy production. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent used appearances in Iowa and Arizona to make the case for Trump's tax policies. He visited Vermeer Corp. in Pella and later joined House Speaker Mike Johnson and Representative Juan Ciscomani at a Frito-Lay facility in Casa Grande. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced infrastructure spending during stops in Florida and Ohio. In Tampa, he unveiled a $16.5 million award for a passenger ferry linking Tampa and St. Petersburg, as well as a $1 million shipyard grant. Duffy also announced a $5 billion investment in the US rail system during a visit to Cincinnati. The programme would close 30 railway crossings and upgrade another 1,000, according to the material released by the White House. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promoted community health centres, rural health care and youth fitness. In Atwater, California, he announced a $102 million investment in rural health centres. At an Iowa YMCA, he promoted the administration's presidential fitness test for children. Kennedy and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner also endorsed a treatment-first, faith-based approach to homelessness and addiction during appearances in Los Angeles and San Diego. The source material noted that homeless service providers and researchers have challenged that approach as ineffective. Other Cabinet travel focused on labour, veterans and small businesses. Acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling visited manufacturers in Texas, Ohio and Iowa. Stanley Black & Decker announced that $4.6 million from a broader $1 billion US manufacturing investment would support its Mission, Texas, facility and was expected to add 100 jobs. Small Business Administration chief Kelly Loeffler visited manufacturers and farmers in Indiana, Iowa and Virginia. During the Virginia stop, she said SBA lending had reached $45 billion in the previous year and benefited 1,600 small businesses each week. Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins toured the Omaha VA and emphasised health care for women and younger veterans. He also took part in the annual Veterans Day Parade at the Iowa State Fair. Cabinet secretaries regularly travel outside Washington to explain federal policy, announce funding and visit projects overseen by their departments. Such appearances also give administrations access to local audiences beyond national political media. Presidential administrations have traditionally used Cabinet travel to reinforce their economic and domestic messages.
