DeWALT celebrated the grand opening of power tool manufacturing at its facility in Greenfield, Ind. The company held a ribbon-cutting ceremony—sawing through a board in place of a ribbon—this week on Veterans Day. To commemorate this milestone for its seventh manufacturing facility in the United States, DeWALT also donated 70 power tools, hand tools and accessories to the Greenfield VFW, including some of the finest corded tools made right in Greenfield as well as tools manufactured at the company’s six other U.S. plants using global materials.
“We’ve made big investments to make DeWALT power tools at our Greenfield facility, using materials from all over the world, for the first time in history. Our employees are proud to tell people who they work for, what they do and that they make products for the American worker right here in the United States,” said Jeff Ansell, senior vice president and group executive at Stanley Black & Decker, parent company of DeWALT. “We’re doing the right things, for the right reasons, the right way. And as we manufacture more and more tools in the United States using global materials, our productivity and our quality continues to improve.”
