Stanley Black & Decker Inc. has announced that it will pay $850 million in cash for Infastech, a Hong Kong fastener manufacturer.

Stanley said the purchase will result in annual cost savings of $25 million within three years.

The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter.

Infastech has annual revenue of about $500 million and more than 2,000 employees. It designs and makes engineered fastening technologies for manufacturers in electronics, autos, aerospace and construction under brands including Avdel and ELCO.
