PROFILE |
 |
Spalding Holdings, formerly Evenflo & Spalding Holdings, is no longer holding the baby. Following a 1998 restructuring, the company separated its Evenflo baby products and Spalding Sports Worldwide units into two stand-alone companies. Now a full-time athletic equipment maker, Spalding makes Top-Flite golf balls; Ben Hogan golf clubs; Etonic golf shoes; Spalding basketballs, volleyballs, and footballs; Dudley softball gear; and Spalding High-Bounce Balls. It licenses its brand names for men's, women's, and children's activewear and other products, including WNBA balls and apparel. Spalding sold its 42% of Evenflo to investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) in 1999; KKR owns 84% of Spalding.
