Expansion & Growth Outlook

Through a disciplined acquisition strategy, Fortune Brands has built a portfolio of industry-leading brands across three categories - water, security, and outdoors. Our portfolio, anchored by powerhouse brands including Moen and Master Lock, operates under a unifying strategy that helps us enhance each of our brands. We are now accelerating this strategy at our new campus in Deerfield, Il, which has brought our brands and our people together to connect, collaborate, and co-create the company’s next chapter together.

When the move to Deerfield was announced, our team felt the weight of change. But FBIN prioritized retaining top talent—and now, being under one roof has sparked new energy, collaboration, and growth. The transition from intern to full-time during 2025 has been an amazing opportunity for my early career, and I am beyond excited to see how our future will unfold.
