Newell Brands was actually a good company--they recalled and replaced some knives for me, and even added a free gift. Not sure about KKR.
HOBOKEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Newell Brands Inc. (NYSE:NWL) announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its Winter Sports businesses, inclusive of Völkl®, K2®, Marker®, Dalbello®, Madshus®, Line®, Full Tilt®, Atlas®, Tubbs®, Ride® and BCA® to Kohlberg & Company, L.L.C., a leading private equity firm specializing in middle-market investing. The sale of the Winter Sports businesses is part of Newell Brands’ ongoing strategy to accelerate growth by simplifying and strengthening our portfolio.

Will this result in the elimination of Madshus skis and other named brands?
