Consumer Group
As we build on our core strengths and accelerate our growth, we have become more intentional about strengthening our connections and working across our segments as one global team. This collaborative approach promotes internal connections and drives innovation across the organization, ultimately creating a better, stronger RPM. The outcomes of our actions are evident in our intercompany sales between RPM segments, which have more than tripled in the last five years to $186 million.

“After facing many challenges in fiscal year 2022 due to increased raw material costs, labor shortages, transportation interruptions and the ongoing impact of the pandemic, the Consumer Group recovered nicely in fiscal year 2023 by achieving record annual revenue of $2.5 billion and an adjusted EBIT increase of nearly 105%. We spent fiscal year 2023 focused on developing new capabilities and process tools for our commercial and operational efforts in the areas of supply chain, product management, user research, demand generation and operational efficiencies. Our focus continues to be on collaborating to build trusted brands that provide innovative solutions for our customers.”
