Newell Rubbermaid Company Description
Newell Rubbermaid wants to get its products into your drawers, your kitchen cabinets, and your workbench. It makes housewares (Rubbermaid plastic products, Calphalon cookware), hardware (Amerock cabinet hardware, IRWIN and Lenox hand tools), home furnishings (Levolor blinds), juvenile products (Graco), hair products (Goody), and office products (DYMO, Sanford, Sharpie). Newell Rubbermaid sells primarily to mass retailers and home and office supply stores. The firm bought label product maker DYMO from Esselte Corporation and sold Newell Cookware Europe to Arc.
