Fortune Brands Company Description
Execs at Fortune Brands have good reason to meet over a game of golf and a glass of bourbon. The holding company is a leading US producer and distributor of distilled spirits (Jim Beam, DeKuyper, Knob Creek, Maker's Mark) and golf equipment (Titleist, Cobra, FootJoy, Pinnacle). However, Fortune's largest segment is home products and hardware, where its holdings include Moen faucets, MasterBrand cabinets, Master Lock padlocks, and Therma-Tru doors. The firm added former Allied Domecq brands Sauza, Courvoisier, and Canadian Club to its stable of potent potables in 2005.
