More than a century ago, Edgar Newell founded the Newell Manufacturing Company, Inc., a maker of metal curtain rods in upstate New York. What began as a modest manufacturing operation in 1903 has evolved into a global consumer products powerhouse through strategic acquisitions and unwavering focus on delighting consumers.
