Stanley Engineered Fastening Joins POP and Avdel into One Single Entity

STANLEY Engineered Fastening, a Stanley Black & Decker company, has announced that it is joining two of the most famous brands in blind fastening, POP and Avdel, into a single entity. The new brand, which will be known as POP Avdel from this point forward, is now the largest in the market and will produce the broadest line of specialty engineered structural and non-structural blind fastening systems in the world. This union is designed to create an integrated product line with combined experience of almost 160 years. The merger promises to lead to even more innovative fastening solutions in the future as well as a consolidation and streamlining of existing product lines to help manufactures build more structurally-sound products. Industries that stand to benefit most from this consolidation globally include automotive, ground transportation, recreational equipment, appliances, electronics, energy, medical equipment, HVAC, and steel constructions.
