Our brands touch every retail channel - and every consumer's life. At Newell Rubbermaid, we make everyday products - things people need to make everyday living easier, more comfortable and more enjoyable. But our competitors make these products too. So what sets Newell Rubbermaid apart? Quite simply, the power of our brands.
Our brands are valuable. Newell Rubbermaid offers some of the most demanded retail products in the marketplace. Our portfolio includes 24 prominent, consumer-focused power brands that we streamlined from over 260 trade-focused brands. They are established market leaders that have top-of-mind presence with virtually every consumer. When people think of home storage and organization, they think Rubbermaid®. For cooking, they trust Calphalon®. For building projects, Irwin® tools to get the job done. And for something as personal as an autograph, they reach for a Sharpie® marker.
Our brands are pervasive. They touch every retail sales channel, from grocery stores and discount stores to warehouse clubs and home centers. From office superstores and department stores to web-based retailers. Wherever consumers work, live and play, you'll find our products.
Our brands are extendable. This gives us the advantage of re-branding existing products to strengthen their marketability. Or in the case of Rubbermaid® TakeAlongs™ containers, using the recognized Rubbermaid® brand to enter a new product category. These are just two of the many ways we unlock the power of our brands.
A new Newell Rubbermaid culture has taken shape within our organization because of the values, dedication and passion our employees bring with them every day. It's a culture of customer focus, marketing prowess and new product innovation. And it's a culture that produces results for our shareholders, our retail partners and our consumers.
By instilling this culture, we've energized ourselves and our relationships with our retail partners. In the past year, we've introduced hundreds of new products - more than the company ever has in its history. We've become more flexible and creative in order to perfectly serve our most important key accounts. We're proactive innovators, developing, selling and quickly implementing new products and programs at retail. Then, using our force of Phoenix in-store representatives, we follow through with high-impact marketing activities and store-level service.
Our ongoing effort is to make certain every corner of our company is steeped in this new culture. We know it will take time. But it is critical that it become part of all of us at Newell Rubbermaid. When it does, the practices will come naturally in everything we do. Product development and marketing creativity will have an unlimited source. Leadership and strategic focus will come from within the body of the organization, not just from on top. Backed by the passion for our business and drive to improve upon it, we will re-create a lasting, exciting and extremely successful company from inside out.
