Secaucus-based General Tools & Instruments has acquired Garden Weasel, a brand of the Faultless Starch/Bon Ami Company in Kansas City, Missouri.
“We are excited to welcome Garden Weasel to our family of brands,” General Tools CEO and President Ralph Mallozzi said. “With this acquisition, we are looking forward to bringing a focus on innovation and product development to the lawn and garden customer, with one of the most loved and recognized brands in the market.”
Under the deal, General Tools will acquire Garden Weasel’s more than a dozen professional gardening tools, including its original Garden Weasel Cultivator, Weasel Claw Pro and Weasel Nut Gather. The tools emphasize ergonomic features to alleviate body strain.
