Consumer products conglomerate selling Rubbermaid, Sharpie, Graco, Coleman, Yankee Candle and other household brands.
Sells branded goods mostly through big retailers, with Walmart the largest customer, so its pricing power is limited and earnings depend on cost inflation and sourcing costs, since much is made in Asia. For several years it has been selling businesses and trimming its range to narrow its focus.
Moat: narrow (brand, scale, distribution). A large portfolio of long-standing #1-or-2 category brands, though facing private-label and retailer pricing pressure.
Headquarters: Atlanta, Georgia, United States · Founded: 1903 · Employees: 21,900
