The Clorox Company has agreed to acquire GOJO Industries, a provider of skin health and hygiene solutions, for $2.25 billion in cash.
The acquisition strengthens Clorox’s health and wellness segment by adding the Purell brand to its portfolio and is expected to accelerate financial performance through long-term synergies and recurring revenue. Founded in 1946, GOJO Industries is headquartered in Ohio and generates nearly $800 million in annual sales.
Centerview Partners LLC served as Clorox’s financial advisor, with Cooley LLP providing legal counsel. Harris Williams LLC advised GOJO, and Jones Day acted as its legal advisor.
