Energizer Batteries
Energizer Holdings (formerly Eveready Battery), headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, known best for its pink Energizer Bunny, is an American manufacturer of batteries with a market share of approximately 30%, with markets in over 150 countries. Formerly a division of Ralston Purina (now Nestlé Purina PetCare), the company owns the Energizer and Eveready brands, producing alkaline, carbon zinc, and lithium batteries, as well as button cell batteries for medical equipment, as well as other specialty batteries. The company also manufactures flashlights. In 1999, Energizer sold its rechargable battery division, although it still markets them for retail sale.
