Description:
Among the most recognized brand names in the water industry, Culligan International has been manufacturing and distributing water treatment products and bottled water for household and commercial use, worldwide, since 1936. The company has cultivated a reputation based on service, quality and water expertise over its 70+ years of industry leadership. Its solutions have been awarded the Good Housekeeping Seal®, highlighted as a Consumers Digest® ''Best Buy'', and featured on the ''Designing Spaces®'' national television show. The franchised “Culligan Man” noted in advertising is known in more than 90 countries.

Headquartered in Rosemont, IL, Culligan offers the most extensive water treatment product line in the world. We are the leading innovator and provider of filters for tap water, household water softeners, micro-filtration products, desalination systems, and portable deionization services. Culligan delivers bottled water and water systems to consumers and businesses through its network of over 700 Company owned and franchised dealers.

Purchased by a fund controlled by the private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier and Rice in 2004, the company executed significant cost reductions in 2005 and developed an appropriate infrastructure to support the growth of the enterprise. Entering 2006, Culligan successfully negotiated a new agreement with its franchise dealer network which will prove advantageous to both parties. The work related to these activities has already had a significant impact on Culligan’s financial results. The company is strong, profitable, and well-positioned in the market. Culligan is focused on strategic growth initiatives which will see the business expand in previously under-serviced segments, growing revenue both domestically and abroad, and generating higher levels of profitability.
