We Made a Deal

Newell Rubbermaid and Jarden Corporation announce plans to become Newell Brands

Global Communications

Today marks an important moment for Newell Rubbermaid as we announced this morning our agreement to combine with Jarden Corporation, a leading global consumer products company with over 120 brands, most notably Yankee Candle^®, Rawlings^®, Crock-Pot^®, FoodSaver^®, Mr. Coffee^®, Oster^®, Sunbeam^®, Coleman^®, First Alert^®, Jostens^®, Nuk^®, Oster^®, and many others. The potential of this combination is exciting for many reasons – it positions us for long-term industry leadership and enables us to accelerate the ideas and execution of our Growth Game Plan as we seek to become a larger, faster growing, more global and more profitable company.

Our executive leadership team, led by our President and CEO, Michael Polk, has been clear about our aspiration to become one of the world’s preeminent consumer goods companies. Our agreement to combine with Jarden Corporation is another step toward realizing this ambition. Our new combined company, which will be called Newell Brands, will create a $16 billion branded consumer goods powerhouse. Through the combination, we will create a new level of potential for our brands and our people.

We have been bold and strategic about plans to acquire leading brands and obtain greater market share in the future. Just two months ago, we welcomed Elmer’s Products, Inc. and the iconic Elmer’s^®, Krazy Glue^®, and X-Acto^® brands to our portfolio. We look forward to welcoming the Jarden team to our company in Q2 2016.

“The combination of these two great companies creates a $16 billion powerhouse in the branded goods landscape with incredible potential to grow and create value,” said Polk in a news release out this morning. He went on to add that, “the scale of our combined businesses in key categories, channels and geographies creates a much broader canvas on which to leverage our advantaged set of brand development and commercial capabilities for accelerated growth and margin expansion.”

With this latest deal, our sights continue to be set on growth and expansion. As The Newell Way states, “we are here to make Newell a leader in our industry,” and we are well on our way.

Leading our path forward will be our current CEO, Michael Polk, who will become CEO of Newell Brands. Martin E. Franklin, Executive Chairman and Founder of Jarden, and Jarden co-founder Ian Ashken, will transition to new roles on Newell Brands’ Board of Directors.

Mark Tarchetti, Chief Development Officer of Newell Rubbermaid, will work to integrate the two companies as the President of Newell Brands upon the closing of the transaction.

As President, Tarchetti will leverage the synergy of both companies in delivery, portfolio strategy and long-term business development plans such as accelerated market deployment of the brands at home and internationally. He will also be responsible for the creation of a number of enterprise-wide capabilities, including Design, Innovation, Insights, eCommerce, and Direct-to-Consumer commerce.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be part of the Newell Brands journey,” said Tarchetti. “Our Growth Game Plan has always been about unlocking our full potential and this transformative combination is a giant step forward on delivering on those ambitions. Having spent a lot of time in recent weeks looking at all the opportunities we can imagine with the Jarden business, I am proud we got this deal over the line and can’t wait to get started on the opportunity. Two of the highest-performing companies in our industry coming together can create transformative new value creation.”

Bill Burke, currently Chief Operating Officer of Newell Rubbermaid, has agreed to lead the Jarden business upon the closing of the transaction working closely with the existing Jarden team to develop and deliver the business plans while working with Tarchetti to ensure the seamless transition of Jarden into Newell Brands.

“I’ve been looking for the next big opportunity, and as it turns out, I didn’t need to look far,” was Burke’s comment. “Leading the Jarden side of Newell Brands with over 120 brands, more than 35,000 employees, and revenue spanning to more than 125 countries, was an attractive opportunity for me, and I look forward to continuing to lead as we start this next chapter.”

Our CEO is also pleased with these appointments, expressing “given the magnitude of the transition ahead, I’m delighted that Bill and Mark will continue their partnership,” said Polk.

As previously announced, Joe Arcuri will assume the role of Chief Commercial Officer of Newell Rubbermaid and Richard Davies will become Chief Development Officer of Newell Rubbermaid, both effective January 1, 2016. These leaders will ensure the development and full delivery of the existing Newell Rubbermaid business plan.

While we’ve made some decisions about the leadership, it is still early in the coming together of these two companies. The deal isn’t expected to close until Q2 2016. So for the time being, it’s business as usual.
