Applica Incorporated is a marketer and distributor of a wide range of small appliances for use in and outside the home. Through its operating subsidiary, Applica Consumer Products, Inc., Applica markets products under licensed brand names such as Black & Decker, company-owned brand names such as Littermaid, Infrawave and private label brand names, primarily in North America, Latin America and the Caribbean.
