Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc.
A maker of home, security, and building products, Fortune Brands Innovations owns familiar brands like Moen faucets, Master Lock padlocks, and Therma-Tru entry doors. It was born in 2011 when the old Fortune Brands conglomerate split apart, spinning off its home and security division while keeping the Jim Beam spirits business. Its Moen brand traces to 1937, when a college student named Al Moen, startled by scalding water from a two-handle faucet, invented the single-handle design that made the company famous.
