with global retailers are expanding. We have a proven history of successful acquisitions, as
well as the ability to generate cost savings and significant cash flow. Our management team
brings years of experience from leading companies around the world. And we have the best
and the brightest people—creative and dedicated employees who bring their individual
skills and talents to every function at Rayovac, from product innovation to customer
service to marketing to manufacturing.
Our greatest strength, however, is in our growing portfolio of world-class brands that pave
the way for our further expansion as a technology-focused, market-driven, global consumer
products company. Rayovac’s powerful brands, combined with our other strengths, provide
us with brighter growth prospects, new opportunities to drive increased sales and earnings,
and a substantial new ability to market and distribute more products to more customers
in more places in the world than ever before.
We’re proud of our long and successful history. We pledge to continue to build on that
solid foundation by making the sound business decisions that will propel our Company
forward. We believe we are poised for even greater success well beyond the global consumer
battery marketplace. By staying focused on the keys to our past success—technological
innovation, top-quality products and people, strategic acquisitions, product diversification
and customer service—we are confident that we will have a rewarding future. As
shareholders in Rayovac, we will settle for nothing less.
