not the whole story.  It
also holds a major market share in alkaline batteries, toothbrushes
and oral care appliances. About 1.2 billion people around the world

The company has introduced more than 20 new products annually. 40
percent of the company's sales in 1999 were from products introduced
in the last five years.  The
new products include the Gillette MACH3 shaving system, the
Duracell Ultra alkaline batteries that claim to provide up
to 50 percent longer life than ordinary batteries. The Braun
series of hair removal products includes the Braun Silk-epil line
of electric hair epilator for women. The Braun oral care appliance
is well known for its Oral-B Interclean electric interdental plaque
removers. The breakthrough design of the Cross Action toothbrush

The company is also into the manufacture of high quality stationery
products like Parker, Paper Mate and Waterman writing instruments.
 Among
the best include the limited edition Parker Snake Fountain Pen,
