GREENVILLE, Pa., May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Werner, the trusted leader in the manufacturing of professional and consumer ladders, announced the introduction and availability of six new step stool ladders to complement their current portfolio of household products. With colors ranging from aqua blue to orchid pink, consumers now have many options to integrate these contemporary designed step stools into their everyday living.

end-users that they wanted more design specific choices in the step stool category," said Chris Filardi, Vice President of Marketing at WernerCo.
