Energizer Holdings, Inc. (Energizer), through its operating subsidiaries, is one
of the world’s largest manufacturers, marketers and distributors of household
batteries, specialty batteries and lighting products.
Energizer is the beneficiary of over 100 years of expertise in the battery
and portable lighting products industries. Its brand names, Energizer® and
Eveready®, have worldwide recognition for innovation, quality and dependability,
and are marketed and sold around the world.
On July 1, 2015, Energizer completed its legal separation from our former parent
company, Edgewell Personal Care Company (Edgewell), via a tax free spin-off
(the Spin-off or Spin). To effect the separation, Edgewell undertook a series
of transactions to separate net assets and legal entities.
Today, Energizer offers batteries using many technologies including lithium,
alkaline, carbon zinc, nickel metal hydride, zinc air, and silver oxide. These
products are sold under the Energizer and Eveready brands in the performance,
premium and price segments and include primary, rechargeable, specialty and
hearing aid products. In addition, Energizer has an extensive line of lighting
products designed to meet a variety of consumer needs. We distribute, market,
and license lighting products including headlights, lanterns, kid’s lights
and area lights. In addition to the Energizer and Eveready brands, we market
our flashlights under the Hard Case®, Dolphin®, and
WeatherReady® sub-brands. In addition to batteries and portable lights,
Energizer licenses the Energizer and Eveready brands to companies developing
consumer solutions in gaming, automotive batteries, portable power for critical
devices (like smart phones), LED light bulbs and other lighting products.
Energizer has a long history of innovation within our categories. Since our
commercialization of the first dry-cell battery in 1893 and the first flashlight
in 1899, we have been committed to developing and marketing new products to
meet evolving consumer needs and consistently advancing battery technology as
the universe of devices powered by batteries has evolved. Over the past 100+
years we have developed or brought to market:
the first flashlight;
the first mercury-free alkaline battery;
the first mercury-free hearing aid battery;
Energizer Ultimate Lithium™, the world’s longest-lasting AA and
AAA battery for high-tech devices; and
Energizer EcoAdvanced®, the world’s first high performance AA battery
made with 4% recycled batteries.
Our approach is grounded in meeting the needs of consumers. In household batteries,
we offer a broad portfolio of batteries that deliver long-lasting performance,
reliability and quality, which we believe provide consumers the best overall
experience.
In addition to primary battery technology we offer consumers primary rechargeable
options, as well as hearing aid and specialty batteries. This broad portfolio
allows us to penetrate a wide range of markets and consumer segments.
There are numerous and varied types of devices that require batteries, including:
toys and gaming controllers;
flashlights, clocks, radios, remotes and smoke detectors;
wireless computer input devices (such as keyboards and mice);
smart home automation; and
medical and fitness devices.
Our technically advanced line of portable lighting products is designed to
meet a breadth of consumer needs, from outdoor activities to emergency situations.
