GURNEE, Il., June 2, 2006 – Weiman Products, a leading manufacturer of professional home and furniture care products, announced today it will acquire J.A. Wright & Co., a family-owned and operated silver and metal care company located in Keene, New Hampshire. For over 60 years, Weiman’s all-natural products have helped homeowners protect, beautify and nourish the fine furnishings and surfaces throughout their homes. J.A. Wright & Co.’s commitment to customer satisfaction and innovative solutions for metal care, including silver and copper creams, jewelry cleaner, brass polish and cook top cleaner have made it the number one name in silver care since 1873.
“Wright’s well-known portfolio of metal and jewelry cleaners is a great addition to Weiman’s portfolio of home and furniture care products,” said Carl DeMasi, President and CEO, Weiman Products. “We’re excited to foster Wright’s long-standing tradition of providing its customers with the best way to care for their fine metalware and jewelry. The merging of Wright’s with Weiman will strengthen both product lines and allow us to boast two of the top selling products in their categories, Wright’s® Silver Cream and Weiman® Cook Top® Cleaner.”
“This is a tremendous opportunity for the Wright’s® brand,” said John B. Wright, President and CEO, J.A. Wright & Co. “As a respected name in the home care products industry, we are confident that Weiman will maintain and grow the strong brand name our customers have trusted for over 130 years.
