Makes household and personal-care brands including Arm & Hammer baking soda/detergent, Trojan condoms and OxiClean.
Sells branded goods mainly to grocers, mass merchants and drugstores, with Walmart its biggest customer. Growth comes as much from buying small niche brands and pushing them through that distribution, such as TheraBreath mouthwash and Hero acne patches, as from its older lines; a small specialty arm sells baking-soda products to animal-feed and industrial users.
Moat: narrow (brand, distribution). Diverse portfolio of niche category-leading household/personal-care brands with retail shelf presence.
