History

[edit]

Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol FBHS on October 3, 2011. Prior to its spin-off, the company operated as a division of the former Fortune Brands, Inc. holding company.[2] Following the separation, Fortune Brands, Inc. changed its name to Beam Inc. and retained no ownership interest in Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc.

In August 2022, Fortune Brands acquired Aqualisa Holdings, a shower products manufacturer, for $160 million. [3]

Business segments

[edit]

As of April 28, 2022, Fortune Brands has three reporting segments: Water Innovations, Outdoors & Security and Cabinets.

Water Innovations

[edit]

Fortune Brands' Water Innovations segment (formerly the Global Plumbing Group)[4][5] is headquartered in North Olmsted, Ohio. The segment manufactures or assembles and sells faucets, accessories, kitchen sinks and waste disposals, predominantly under the Moen and House of Rohl brands, which includes luxury branded plumbing products from Riobel, Perrin & Rowe, Victoria + Albert and Shaws. In addition to offering faucets, showers, tubs, sinks and accessories, the Moen brand is expanding its home whole water management and digital offerings with the Moen Smart Water Network.[6][7]

Outdoors & Security

[edit]

Fortune Brands' Outdoors & Security segment is headquartered in Maumee, Ohio. Formerly operating under "Doors & Security",[8] its name was changed to Outdoors & Security[9] in November 2020 preceding the acquisition of Larson in December 2020.[10] The Outdoors & Security segment manufactures and sells fiberglass and steel entry door systems under the Therma-Tru brand name, storm, screen and security doors under the Larson brand name, composite decking and railing under the Fiberon brand name, and urethane millwork under the Fypon brand name. Fortune Brands acquired Solar Innovations in January 2022 to support the segment’s outdoor living strategy.[11] The Outdoors & Security segment also manufactures, sources and distributes locks, safety and security devices, and electronic security products under the Master Lock and American Lock brands and fire resistant safes, security containers and commercial cabinets under the SentrySafe brand.[12]

Cabinets

[edit]

Fortune Brands' Cabinets segment is headquartered in Jasper, Indiana. MasterBrand Cabinets manufacturers and sells stock and semi-custom and custom cabinetry, as well as vanities for the kitchen, bath and other parts of the home. Brands within the MasterBrand Cabinets portfolio include Omega, Decora, Diamond, Aristokraft, Urbana and Mantra. In April 2022 Fortune Brands announced its intent to separate into two publicly traded companies via a tax-free spin-off of the Cabinets business.[13][14]
