FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 18, 1995
STANLEY ANNOUNCES ELECTION OF NEW OFFICER
New Britain, Connecticut (NYSE:SWK)...Richard H. Ayers, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of The Stanley Works today announced
that the company's Board of Directors has elected Paul W. Russo
to the newly created position of Vice President, Strategy and
Development. Mr. Russo's election is effective September 18,
1995.
Mr. Ayers commented, "This is a new position at Stanley, created
to help guide our planning and acquisition activities and our
efforts to refocus priorities. Paul Russo has an impressive work
and educational background that is perfectly suited to our needs.
"He is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and
Harvard School of Business Administration. He is also a
Certified Public Accountant. His range of work experience
includes leadership roles in corporate restructuring, a strong
background in acquisition strategies and a thorough understanding
of strategic business planning. He is extremely well-suited to
help Stanley achieve our goals of growing profitably to $4
billion in sales by 1999."
Before coming to Stanley, Mr. Russo had been Co-Chairman and Co-
Chief Executive Officer of SV Corp., an international
manufacturer of industrial valves headquartered in Massachusetts.
SV Corp. was purchased in 1991 by Cornerstone Partners Limited, a
company which Mr. Russo co-founded in 1988. Prior to 1988, Paul
had been a partner at Bain & Company management consultants. At
Bain, he developed and managed marketing, manufacturing and
portfolio strategies which generated growth and improved profits
for clients such as Burlington Industries, Dun & Bradstreet and
Hershey Foods.
Mr. Russo, his wife Deborah, and their two children Christina and
Alexander, will be relocating to Connecticut from Newton,
Massachusetts in the near future.
The Stanley Works is a worldwide producer of tools, hardware and
specialty hardware for home improvement, consumer, industrial and
professional use.
