About Energizer Holdings Inc.
Who owns Rayovac batteries?
Rayovac is owned by Energizer Holdings Inc. Energizer acquired Rayovac from Spectrum Brands Holdings in 2019 for approximately $2 billion. Energizer Holdings is thus the parent company of both the Energizer and Rayovac battery brands.
Is Energizer the same company as Eveready?
Energizer Holdings owns the Eveready brand, which is the historical predecessor to the Energizer brand. Eveready Battery Company was the original operating entity that was spun from Ralston Purina in 2000 and became Energizer Holdings. The Eveready name is still used in some international markets.
Is Energizer related to Edgewell Personal Care?
Energizer Holdings and Edgewell Personal Care were previously part of the same company. In 2015, Energizer Holdings separated its personal care brands (Schick, Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic) as an independent company called Edgewell Personal Care. The two companies are now completely separate public entities.
History of Energizer Holdings Inc.
Energizer Holdings was created in April 2000 when Ralston Purina spun off its Eveready Battery Company subsidiary as an independent public company. Ralston had acquired Eveready Battery from Union Carbide in 1986. The original Energizer brand was introduced in 1980 as a premium battery line under the Eveready umbrella.
In 2015, Energizer completed a further split, separating its personal care products business (Schick, Wilkinson Sword, Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic) as Edgewell Personal Care Company. This left Energizer Holdings as a focused battery and auto care business.
The 2019 acquisitions from Spectrum Brands were the largest in the company's history. Energizer paid approximately $2 billion for Spectrum Brands' battery division (including Rayovac and private-label battery businesses) and approximately $1.25 billion for Spectrum Brands' auto care division (Armor All, STP, A/C Pro). Both deals were subject to regulatory conditions requiring some divestitures.
