Fortune Brands made headlines on Wednesday after the company said it planned to break itself apart.
The plan is to create 3 separate units;
- a liquor business with Jim Beam among its marquis names
- a home and security company which will include Moen faucets and Master locks,
- a golf products company with Titliest as the big brand .
These developments have not only triggered M&A chatter but talk that other companies could benefit from following this same break up strategy.
In fact Simon Baker of Baker Asset management has identified three he’d like to see go down a similar road. They are Dover [DOV
