Griffon Corporation GFF

Company Overview

Griffon Corporation is a diversified management and holding company operating primarily in the home and building products and consumer and professional tools industries. The company designs, manufactures, and markets a range of branded products used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Griffon’s business model focuses on acquiring and managing subsidiaries with established market positions, recurring demand, and opportunities for operational improvement.

Griffon was founded in 1959 and has evolved from a defense-oriented electronics manufacturer into a consumer and building products-focused holding company through decades of portfolio restructuring. Its strategic repositioning accelerated in the 2010s, marked by divestitures of non-core defense assets and increased investment in home-related and lifestyle product categories. Today, Griffon’s revenues are primarily driven by branded consumer products sold through major retailers, distributors, and professional channels.
