Comments: After building a conglomerate out of seemingly disparate pieces, Newell Brands is breaking up a bit. The company entered Happi’s sector when it acquired Jarden Corporation in more than a year ago. Jarden had purchased Yankee Candle a few years before that. Now, Newell Brands has agreed to sell its winter sports business, which includes K2 and Atlas, to Kohlberg & Company. Earlier this year, Newell jettisoned its Zoot and Squadra clothing brands. Those moves followed the sale of its tool business to Stanley Black & Decker.
It remains a hodgepodge of brands in a variety of categories, but company executives are making long-term moves in home fragrance. Earlier this year, Newell Brands acquired candle-maker Smith Mountain Industries.
