2003 Highlights
.We expanded our portfolio of products with the addition of the Diamond®
,Forster®
,Lady Dianne®
,Lehigh®and Leslie
Locke®to our branded consumables group during the course of 2003. The addition of these businesses has created
cross-selling opportunities and expanded already strong relationships with existing customers.
.The acquisition of the Lehigh business expanded our already diverse branded consumables product line into the growing
Do-It-Yourself market by adding rope, cord and twine, garage storage organizers and other home improvement products.
.Diamond®brand kitchen matches and Ball®brand jars have been in continuous use for over 100 years.
.We have been named a category manager for Lowes, Home Depot and Wal-Mart, underscoring our focus on serving the
needs of our customers and the end consumer.
.We introduced a variety of new products, including our gourmet layered cookie mixes packaged in a Ball®jar under the
White River Farms label. Debuting last fall on QVC, over one million dollars worth of product was sold in one day.
.We accelerated the introduction of new and innovative products, primarily under the Ball®and Diamond®brands,
including five fresh-n-fun kits, improved toothpick dispensers, a family of multi-purpose lighters and a Skil®branded
multi-purpose work bench.
