Jarden Branded Consumables is the foundation on which the growth of Jarden Corporation, as a global leader in
consumer products, has been built. With a cadre of strong niche brands, focused brand managers and a dedicated
work force we have built a portfolio of products used by consumers in and around their homes, some for well over
100 years. Our goal is to expand the markets served by our core brands and to continue profitable growth, while
serving the consumer’s expanding range of needs.
Our focus on new product initiatives and product line extensions has successfully generated increased sales for retail-
ers and driven value for our investors. We have grown our revenue base by being market leaders and have been
opportunistic in identifying acquisitions that increase value, while simultaneously creating cross-selling opportunities
for sister company brands. We strive to maintain our track record of strong financial performance by focusing on
continuous operational improvements, leveraging our resources and creating healthy partnerships with suppliers.
Many of our brands, including Ball,,
®Bee,,
®Bernardin,
®Bicycle,
®Crawford,
®Diamond,
®Forster,
®Hoyle,
®Kerr,
®Lehigh,
®
Leslie-Locke®and Loew-Cornell,
®hold the #1 and #2 market positions in their respective product categories. We
consider ourselves the stewards of trusted products that have served families for generations and we are committed
to responding to the needs of these families, as well as those of new consumers, with innovation into the future.
