Helen of Troy Limited is looking for acquisition opportunities. Helen of Troy Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Gerald J. Rubin, said, “Helen of Troy's business operations have grown in recent years, and we expect our businesses to continue to grow, both organically and through acquisitions, in the future. Over the next five years we hope to add more than 300 full-time employees to our operations in DeSoto County.

With interest rates at record lows, it is a great time to make this type of investment in the future of Helen of Troy. In addition, local agencies and governments, including the Mississippi Development Authority, the State of Mississippi, DeSoto County and the City of Olive Branch, provided us with incentives to enhance the attractiveness of this project.”
