Newell Brands Inc. NWL

NWL Company Overview

Newell Brands Inc. is a global consumer goods company that designs, manufactures, sources, and markets a broad portfolio of everyday consumer and commercial products. The company operates primarily in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples industries, with products spanning home, outdoor, recreation, writing, baby, and commercial solutions. Its revenue is driven by well-known brands that hold leading positions in their respective categories, sold through mass merchants, e-commerce platforms, specialty retailers, and commercial distributors.

Founded in 1903 as Newell Manufacturing Company, the business initially focused on hardware and drapery rods before expanding through decades of acquisitions. A transformative moment occurred in 2016 with the acquisition of Jarden Corporation, which significantly expanded Newell’s brand portfolio and global reach. Since then, the company has undergone portfolio rationalization, divesting non-core businesses to focus on fewer, stronger brands and improving operational efficiency.
