Newell Company and Rubbermaid merged in 1999, nearly doubling in size and significantly increasing the combined company's portfolio of brands. According to Frontline (November 10, 2004) "Is Wal-Mart Good for America?" this merger was a result of increasing need for consolidation among manufacturers to negotiate with retail buyers.
