Reynolds Consumer Products Inc.

A maker of household staples, Reynolds Consumer Products produces the aluminum foil, trash bags, disposable tableware, and food storage bags under brands like Reynolds Wrap, Hefty, and Presto. The company dates to 1919, when Richard S. Reynolds Sr.—nephew of tobacco tycoon R.J. Reynolds—founded the U.S. Foil Company to wrap cigarettes and candy in tin and lead foil. Legend has it a sales rep first used the foil to wrap a Thanksgiving turkey, turning an industrial material into a kitchen staple.
