History of Rubbermaid?
Rubbermaid has a very long history within the fabric of the American manufacturing industry and it's role in making plastics a household item. When I visited the site I was very dissapointed that there was not any more consideration taken into this page other than it's current state as another asset of the Newell manufacturing empire. Newell-Rubbermaid is by no means Rubbermaid, as Newell is just the current majority stock holder. I think that the current page should really just be a stub for the REAL Rubbermaid. Lets be honest, this article isn't even about Rubbermaid but more about the Newell Manufacturing Company. I think more consideration needs to be given to the history of Rubbermaid and perhaps a list of past and present key players responsible for its development. I am suggesting that the name "Rubbermaid" not be a redirection to "Newell Rubbermaid" as they are not one and the same. Newell Rubbermaid is only a recent development in Rubbermaid's long history in the manufacturing industry. Any comments?atshaw 23:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I think you make a good point. There is a lot of history behind Rubbermaid - In fact, there's history behind each of the companies that Newell Rubbermaid acquired. How would you suggest the article be organized? Or would you start a new article for "Rubbermaid" and link to this one at the end?Bobzchemist 20:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Indeed, there is much history that should be covered concerning the other companies as well. Since there is not much in the article concerning any of the companies I think it would be important to discuss the history and development of Newell Manufacturing Co. linking all of its aquired companies to their own site (i.e. link to Rubbermaid, Goody, Sanford, etc.). I do realize that this layout is a bit ambitious beause you are essentially trying to make a master article that all the other companies sites are linked to (kind of like it is now but much more developed). All I am trying to accomplish in the near future is a page just on Rubbermaid linked from it's present parent company, Newell. Making it so that those online looking for information on Rubbermaid aren't "redirected" to a weak description of the Newell portfolio. Comments?atshaw 22:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with atshaw. I came to this article looking for the history of Rubbermaid, and wanted to see more of its history before the Newell merger. 206.53.196.105 (talk) 19:56, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Redirects from Reynolds
Searching for Reynolds I get redirected here, and the internal link again redirects to the disambig page! What to do about it? Elncid (talk) 12:40, 31 March 2009 (UTC) There should be a separate article for Rubbermaid. http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/entry.php?rec=980 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.180.42.150 (talk) 03:39, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Uni-ball
The article suggests that Newell-Rubbermaid owns Uni-ball, which they don't - they distribute Uni-ball's products in the US. The linked article on Uni-ball mentions correctly that Sanford (Newell-Rubbermaid) distribute their products in the US. In most of the rest of the world, Uni-ball distribute their own products through local subsidiaries, and they have a similar arrangement with Faber-Castell in Germany.
