Stanley Black & Decker announced today that the company’s iconic DEWALT tools will be the star of an upcoming “Modern Marvels: Machines” episode on The HISTORY Channel. The episode, part of the show’s season featuring modern machines airs Sunday, August 15 at 10/9c.

The show will visit the company’s Ft. Mill, South Carolina Manufacturing Facility to get an inside look at the production of DEWALT power tools. He discovers how the facility uses cutting edge technology to make cutting edge tools. Between robots, cobots (collaborative robots) and their 650 hard-working employees, a power tool comes off the production line every 30 seconds.

“Our employees have a tremendous sense of pride for what they do, but hosting The HISTORY Channel at our facility brought that to a new level,” said Stanley Black & Decker Plant Manager, Brendan Pidgeon. “Many people have misconceptions on what manufacturing looks like and we were proud to have the unique opportunity to showcase our highly digital and sustainable facility, as well as the dedicated employees of Stanley Black & Decker. Hopefully this episode gives the country a sneak peek to how rewarding a career in manufacturing can be.”
