In January 1998 Johnson Wax completed its second major acquisition of the decade when it purchased the DowBrands unit from Dow Chemical Co. for $1.13 billion. Added to the S.C. Johnson product portfolio were Ziploc plastic bags, Saran Wrap plastic wrap, and Fantastik cleaners. As with the Drackett acquisition, S.C. Johnson had to divest several acquired brands to gain antitrust muster, including Spray 'N Wash laundry-stain remover (Johnson already sold the Shout brand in this product category) and Glass Plus glass cleaner. The company also sold off the Yes laundry detergent and Vivid color-safe bleach lines. The acquisition of DowBrands brought an immediate 20 percent increase to company revenues, which grew from $4 billion in 1998 to more than $5 billion in 1999. Meantime, in February 1999, S.C. Johnson made a further withdrawal from the personal care sector through the sale of its dermatological skincare business--which was primarily made up of the Aveeno brand&mdashø Johnson & Johnson for an undisclosed amount. S.C. Johnson had thus largely reduced its personal care line to the shaving sector, where the Edge for men and Skintimate for women brands were sector leaders.
By the late 1990s S.C. Johnson & Son was a broadly based consumer products giant, and this position was echoed in the company's decision in late 1998 to alter its logo and ads to say "S.C. Johnson--A Family Company" rather than "S.C. Johnson Wax"--wax products being only a small part of the business. With its new image, S.C. Johnson entered the 21st century as an aggressively expanding firm, strongly committed to research and development and willing to pursue blockbuster acquisitions. It also remained firmly controlled by the Johnson family. S.C. Johnson remained chairman, while two sons held high posts: S. Curtis (Curt) Johnson, chairman of commercial markets, and H. Fisk Johnson, president of consumer products. A daughter, Helen Johnson-Leipold, had resigned her post as vice-president of personal and home care products in order to assume the chairmanship of the publicly held spinoff company Johnson Worldwide Associates, Inc.
