Talk:Nolan D. Archibald

@Rose051616 Why do you keep deleting these paragraphs
The purchase of Emhart was a defining part of his career at B&D

In 1989 Archibald made the near disastrous mis-step of out-bidding other companies to purchase Emhart Corporation for $2.8B in debt. Black & Decker was able to service the debt because of profit from the launch of DeWalt in 1992 and subsequent success in becoming the world's largest professional and industrial power tools brand.

Archibald served as chief executive officer for 24 years and was the last CEO of Black & Decker. Asmithmd1 (talk) 01:02, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
