The Clorox (CLX) announced the completion of its previously announced acquisition of GOJO Industries, expanding Clorox’s product portfolio to include the Purell brand and GOJO’s health and hygiene solutions. The combination brings together two companies with a shared commitment to making the world cleaner and healthier, leveraging complementary consumer brand-building expertise and B2B capabilities to deliver a more comprehensive product offering and both near- and long-term strategic value to Clorox.
