    The Gillette Company was founded in 1901 in a small office in Boston. Since its departure, Gillette has positioned itself as one of the most recognizable brands not only through their safety razor blades, but also through corporate diversification. This included the acquisition of a number of major companies, most recently Duracell. Prior to this acquisition, the Duracell Corporation had been the leading producer of alkaline batteries in the United States and maintained consistent growth in revenues from 1991-1996. Since their purchase of Duracell, their stock price has fallen 45% to a low of $34. The issue for Gillette is to determine if they can promote the profitable growth of their acquisition.…

    Over the next thirty years, Gillette continued to grow their company by expanding into new product lines, including pens, batteries, and deodorants. However the lessons that Gillette learned from the Schick stainless-steel blade competition came to fruition in 1990 with the introduction of Gillette’s Sensor razor, which quickly gained global market domination. Over the next few years Gillette continued to tweak their Sensor razor product with great success. The success of this razor allowed Gillette to invest in the type of research and development that was necessary to release Gillette’s next generation razor in 1998 – the Mach3 razor. The Mach3 became Gillette’s most successful product ever, hitting sales of one billion dollars in eighteen months and winning the Grand Edison Award for the best new…
