Duracell is one of the world's most recognizable battery brands, famous for its copper-colored top and the 'Duracell Bunny' mascot. Originally developed through a partnership between scientist Samuel Ruben and businessman Philip Rogers Mallory in the early 20th century, the brand revolutionized the portable power industry by introducing long-lasting alkaline batteries.
While the brand was founded and is headquartered in the United States, its manufacturing operations are global to meet international demand. Production takes place in various specialized facilities across the United States, Europe, and Asia. This global distribution network ensures that high-capacity alkaline cells are available for consumer electronics and industrial applications worldwide.
Over its history, Duracell has been owned by several major conglomerates, including Kraft Foods and Gillette, and later became a subsidiary of Procter & Gamble. In 2016, Berkshire Hathaway, the investment firm led by Warren Buffett, successfully acquired the brand. Today, Duracell operates as a standalone business unit under the Berkshire Hathaway umbrella, maintaining its position as a market leader in the battery sector.
