PROFILE |
 |
Acorn Products dug into the garden-tool business in 1890, and it has stayed true to its roots ever since. Through subsidiaries (primarily UnionTools), Acorn makes non-powered lawn and garden tools (hoes, shovels, rakes, posthole diggers), wheelbarrows, and handtools. Its brand names include Razor-Back, Yard 'n Garden, and (under license) Scotts; the company also makes private-label tools for retailers such as Sears and Ace Hardware. Customers include mass merchants, home centers, hardware cooperatives, and farm and industrial distributors. Acorn sold its watering division in 2000 to focus on its core products -- long-handled tools. Los Angeles investment firms TCW Group and Oaktree Capital together own 71% of Acorn.
