BUTLER TAKES OVER ONECARE BRANDS

Cleaning product manufacturer doubles in size with acquisition

(Marlborough, MA, February 2014) Butler Home Products has reached an agreement with Georgia based personal care company oneCARE, to take over specific products and brands under their control. Butler will acquire the lint and pet roller business marketed under the Evercare brand, the stick goods business under the Clorox brand and the Target private label cleaning tools brand called Up and Up.

Rob Michelson, president of Butler, will lead this business. “These are exciting times for Butler,” says Michelson. “This is a natural extension for us; expanding our cleaning tools business while introducing lint rollers to our line. The acquisition almost doubles our size and represents a tremendous growth opportunity.” Evercare is the inventor of the lint roller product and holds a significant market share of this segment.

The operation’s sales, marketing, product development and sourcing will be lead by Tim Young and a seasoned team of professionals out of Alpharetta, Georgia. Warehousing and customer service is located in Waynesboro, Georgia, from where they will service all U.S. customers. The facility is state-of-art with complete warehouse management systems in place. Lint roller manufacturing, currently out of oneCARE’s Kentucky plant, will be moving another factory for production.

The company’s Canadian operation is headed by Dave Brown, from offices located in Ontario.
