What jobarinc does

Jobar International, Inc. is a B2B consumer products company founded in 1972 that designs, develops, sources, and distributes household products to retailers and business customers across multiple categories. Operating from its corporate headquarters in Torrance, California, the company maintains owned brand portfolios spanning kitchen (Handy Gourmet and the ECO wheat-straw sub-line), hardware, housewares, and outdoor (Ideaworks), mobility and wellness (North American Wellness), pet care (Pet-Able), cleaning (Tidy House), and patented disposal-cleaning tools (Grime Grab'r). It warehouses over 700 SKUs and runs continuous product development through in-house designers, product managers, and graphic artists.

Jobar's technology stack centers on physical product design and global sourcing. Its principal proprietary feature is the patented 360° bristle architecture of the Grime Grab'r brush, which scrubs garbage disposal units from sides, bottoms, and under the collar using a flexible, durable bristle composition (30% SS01, 20% PP, 20% TPE, 15% ABS, 15% TPR). The ECO sub-line substitutes wheat-straw-derived biodegradable materials for up to 70% less plastic. The firm operates as both a branded house and an OEM partner, offering custom packaging and logo development for private-label programs.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through B2B wholesale consumer goods sales, with an additional private branding / OEM service line. A direct sales organization (Sales Managers, Key Account Managers, Sales Coordinators) sells to retailers; a state-of-the-art 3PL warehousing facility with Geodis Logistics, CTPAT-certified, supports a direct imports program that ships from partner factories directly into customer warehouses. Pricing is structured through wholesale B2B arrangements and multi-year contracts, with the only disclosed retail benchmark being the Grime Grab'r SKU at a $14.99 launch price. Global reach is anchored by US headquarters, Hong Kong operations, and a European distribution partner.

Direct peers

• Lifetime Brands: Lifetime Brands designs, sources and distributes kitchenware, housewares and tabletop products globally through both owned brands and private label — a structurally similar model to Jobar's Handy Gourmet and Tidy House lines.
• The Libman Company: Libman is a family-owned US manufacturer of cleaning tools (mops, brushes, brooms) sold through retail and foodservice channels. Its product mix directly overlaps Jobar's Tidy House and Grime Grab'r categories, and its scale and ownership structure resemble Jobar's.
• Telebrands Corp: Telebrands is a direct-response/B2B consumer products inventor and distributor with a broad portfolio of housewares, kitchen and household gadgets sold primarily through retail partners. Like Jobar, it relies on sourcing partner factories and operating multiple in-house brands.
• Idelle Labs: Idelle Labs is a B2B consumer products company marketing multiple owned brands (Spalding, Burst, Cooper Classics) across housewares and household categories to mass retailers — comparable to Jobar's multi-brand, B2B housewares platform.
• OXO: OXO is a premium housewares and kitchen-tools brand (a Helen of Troy subsidiary) known for design-led, problem-solving products — comparable to Jobar's Handy Gourmet and Grime Grab'r design ethos, though OXO operates as a single brand and is sold through Jobar's same retail customers.
• Bradshaw International: Bradshaw International is a B2B housewares and pet products company selling multiple owned brands to mass-market and specialty retailers. Its category breadth and private-label capability closely match Jobar's Pet-Able, Tidy House and Ideaworks portfolios.
• Tristar Products: Tristar Products is a closely analogous B2B consumer products company that develops, sources and sells multi-category housewares, fitness and kitchen items under multiple owned brands plus private label. Its As-Seen-on-TV-style innovation pipeline and retailer-direct model mirror Jobar's structure most directly.

Broad incumbents

• Spectrum Brands: Spectrum Brands is a publicly-traded consumer products conglomerate with overlapping categories including pet care, home & garden and small appliances. It is much larger and broader than Jobar but competes for the same retail buyer attention across several of Jobar's brand categories.
• Newell Brands: Newell Brands owns large housewares, hardware and home improvement portfolios (Yankee Candle, Rubbermaid, Graco). It competes with Jobar across Ideaworks hardware and Tidy House cleaning categories, though as a multi-billion-dollar incumbent rather than a focused mid-market player.
• Helen of Troy Limited: Helen of Troy is a publicly-traded diversified housewares, health and wellness products company (OXO, Vicks, Hydro Flask, etc.). Its housewares and wellness segments directly overlap with Jobar's Ideaworks and North American Wellness brands, though it operates at vastly greater scale.
