Happi's Top 50 List Says SC Johnson Is Fourth-Largest US Household And Personal Care Company

SC Johnson is ranked as the fourth-largest U.S. company in the household and personal care markets, according to the “Happi” magazine’s 2013 Top 50 list. In 2012, privately held SC Johnson reported sales increased 5 percent. Also, the company has always emphasized its sustainability efforts, such as the commissioning of two wind turbines at its Waxdale factory. These turbines will generate about 15 percent of the energy used at the factory. SC Johnson has been generating most of its own power through power plants that burn landfill gas and natural gas. Its environment-friendly focus also includes product development. For example, the company’s new Smart Twist Cleaning System uses less packaging and helps reduce waste with concentrated cleaners in sprayer with a smaller form factor.
