Design Engineering - Consumer

The Spennymoor Design Centre, located on the Spennymoor facility near to the city of Durham in north-east England, is home to Engineering and Design Groups for Black and Decker®.

The Corporation has Design Centres in North America, Asia and Europe: Spennymoor, which has delivered successful and award winning products for almost 30 years, is among the foremost. The entire design and development process, from concept through development and testing, takes place at Spennymoor, for products produced at our factory locations worldwide.

To achieve this, key roles exist within the design centre, each contributing through its own discipline to the launch of successful new products:

Design Engineering is central to the process throughout. Mechanical and Electrical Design Engineers scope and 		develop the products to cost and performance criteria, and CAD Designers, skilled in state-of-the-art computer aided design systems, complete the detail and specification process.

New Product Innovation specialise in innovating new approaches by examining consumer needs, and using new mechanisms, materials and technologies to invent breakthrough products.

Industrial Design provide the concept or external form of the product, ensuring that it is ergonomically correct and satisfying to use, as well as compelling and attractive at the point of sale.

These areas are supported by the Model Shop – deploying CNC techniques and skilled craftsmanship to rapidly manufacture models and prototypes, and by a comprehensive Test Laboratory, exhaustively testing our products for durability, performance and compliance to standards.



 In November 2005, Black and Decker was awarded the prestigious German IF Award for product design, for the Alligator®, a revolutionary, safer outdoor saw – conceived, designed and developed at Spennymoor.
