Vault's Scoop

ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

A diversified corporation

Newell Rubbermaid manufactures and markets an enormous array of common household items—everything from Sharpie markers and Goody hair products to Calphalon cookware and Rubbermaid containers. Until 1999, the company was just Newell; it added Rubbermaid to its name following its purchase of the plastics and house wares manufacturer that year. Although the consensus in the business community was that Newell overpaid for Rubbermaid, the company wasn’t deterred from continuing its strategy of acquisitions. Subsequent additions to the Newell Rubbermaid family have included, in 2002 and 2003, patriotic toolmakers American Tool Companies and American Saw & Manufacturing. Top customers of the firm include Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, Office Depot, Staples, The Home Depot and Babies "R" Us.
