Contigo is owned by Newell Brands (the United States, NASDAQ: NWL), which acquired the brand on 15 April 2016 for $15.4 billion.[1][2] Contigo was founded in 2004 in the United States and was independent until 2016.
Contigo makes insulated drinkware, founded in 2004 and known for an autoseal lid that closes between sips rather than requiring the user to close it, designed to prevent spills in bags and cars. It joined Newell with the Jarden acquisition in 2016.
Newell Rubbermaid acquired Jarden for about $15.4 billion and renamed itself Newell Brands, roughly doubling in size overnight. Jarden had itself been assembled from dozens of acquisitions, and the combined company spent the following years selling many of them again after the debt proved heavier than the integration was worth.
