PROFILE |
 |
Gerber Childrenswear might be one of the first companies to make kids brand-conscious. The firm makes infant and toddler clothing sold under the Gerber, Baby Looney Tunes, and Curity labels (all licensed), as well as the Onesies brand. Its products include sleepwear, underwear, playwear, cloth diapers, footwear, bibs, bed and bath products, and gift sets. Gerber's Auburn Hosiery Mills unit makes Wilson and Converse sport socks (under license). Gerber sells its products through mostly US retailers such as Wal-Mart (over 30% of sales), Kmart, and Toys "R" Us. Suffering from sluggish sales, the company has hired First Union Securities to help it explore "strategic alternatives," including a possible sale.
