Rubbermaid said Monday it had agreed to acquire Jarden for more than $15 billion in cash and stock.
The deal creates a $16 billion consumer goods company, with brands including Paper Mate, Sharpie, Elmer’s, Rubbermaid, Graco, Lenox, Coleman, Sunbeam, and Yankee Candle, the companies said in a joint news release.
“The deal is a bet that Newell can gain efficiency and clout from Jarden’s more than 100 far-flung brands, including everything from Oster appliances and K2 skis to Yankee Candle,” Bloomberg said.
Both Atlanta-based Newell Rubbermaid and Miami-based Jarden have been scooping up consumer products brands, and investors have rewarded them, according to The Wall Street Journal.
