The second is made by coating a fabric like cotton or polyester with a flexible polymer and then treating it to look more like animal hide. Both types are used in making clothing, upholstery, and product covers, but each is better for certain applications than others.
First Significant Acquisition Since 2008. ATLANTA, July 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE:NWL) has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Ignite Holdings, LLC (Ignite) from North Castle Partners, a leading private equity firm focused on consumer businesses that promote healthy, active and sustainable living.
Designed for professionals and experienced cooks, the cookware gained a reputation for quality and the company remained privately held until 1998, when Newell Rubbermaid acquired it. Employees at Calphalon, whose building is at Third and D Streets in Perrysburg, were informed yesterday of the decision. Most of affected 85 workers will be offered the opportunity to relocate to Atlanta, Ms. Bryant said. The company will offer job hunting assistance to those who choose not to move.
