PROFILE |
 |
Applica (formerly Windmere-Durable Holdings) curls your hair and toasts your buns. The company makes personal care products (curling irons, hair dryers) and small appliances. (It's the #1 US maker of toaster ovens, can openers, and steamers.) The company nearly tripled in size through its 1998 purchase of Black & Decker's household products line. Notable brands include Windmere, Black & Decker, and White-Westinghouse (a licensed brand sold at Kmart). It also makes Litter Maid self-cleaning cat boxes. Applica's products, sold in North and South America, are made in China by subsidiary Durable Electrical Metal Factory, as well as in Mexico. Wal-Mart Stores accounts for more than 10% of sales.
