PROFILE |
 |
"Barbarians at the Gate" or "The Wheeler Dealers"? First traded for a portion of RJR Nabisco, Borden, Inc., is no longer in the dairy business, having traded Elsie the cow for a barn full of test tubes. Borden's decentralized units include Borden Chemical (formaldehyde, melamine, resins) and Elmer's Products, a leading producer of household and school glues (Elmer's and Krazy Glue). Borden sold its Borden Foods and Wise Foods operations to BW Holdings, an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., Borden's parent company. (BW Holdings has since sold Wise.) However, Borden still manages Borden Foods (pastas, bouillons) as well as housewares maker World Kitchen (Pyrex, Corelle, and Corning; formerly Corning Consumer Products).
