 PROFILE
It wouldn't be unusual for the executives of Fortune Brands to have meetings over golf and bourbon. The company is a leading US producer of distilled spirits (Jim Beam, DeKuyper, Knob Creek) and golf equipment (Titleist, Cobra, FootJoy, Pinnacle). Fortune also makes a number of top home products (Moen faucets, Aristokraft and Schrock cabinets, and Master Lock padlocks) as well as office products (ACCO, Day-Timers, Swingline). Having made its early fortunes in tobacco, the company became the first big cigarette maker to remove itself from the tobacco business. Fortune also distributes Absolut vodka in the US through its joint venture with the Sweden-based V&S Vin & Sprit.
