This week I got a FoodSaver roll at Walmart. The box didn't look like
I'd seen before. It's green, with a leaf-like logo, and the brand name
is jarden corp. The roll looks like what I expected (good thickness,
etc), but I'm a newbie and not totally familiar with this subject (altho
I've seen it before.) A friend gave me his FoodSaver Compact II machine,
without accessories, and this is my first time to use it. I thot that
the name "FoodSaver" was copyright, so it seemed ok.
Has Tilia changed their name? Did I get snookered? Something else I'm
missing?

Thanks!

Lance

Jarden Corp is the holder of a large number of branded goods. Also the
home corporation of what used to be Alltrista, ie Ball and Kerr jars
and, I think, Bernadin. Do a Google search on Jarden Corp and you will
see. Didn't see Tilia in there though.

Did a search on jarden corp. yes they own foodsaver, along with half the
other brand names in the world. The rolls I get at BJ'S also have been
changing over to the green box.

Google "Jarden + Tilia"
I wonder if Jarden's got a lock on food preservation.

And this little snippet from:
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/050302/jah10-k.html
"On April 24, 2002, we completed our acquisition of the business of
Tilia International, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Tilia" and the "Tilia
Acquisition"). We acquired the business of Tilia for approximately $145
million in cash and $15 million in seller debt financing. In addition,
the Tilia Acquisition includes an earn-out provision with a potential
payment in cash or our common stock, at our sole discretion, of up to
$25 million payable in 2005, provided that certain earnings performance
targets are met. At December 31, 2004, we estimated that the earn-out
payment, payable in the second quarter of 2005, could be approximately
$17.3 million and we have accrued this amount in Deferred Consideration
for Acquisitions on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have capitalized
this earn-out accrual into goodwill. Tilia is included in the consumer
solutions segment from April 1, 2002. "
