History

Otto Josten founded the company as a watch-repair business in Owatonna in 1897. Jostens (then called "Josten's" -- the apostrophe was later dropped) began manufacturing emblems and awards for nearby schools and in 1906, the year of incorporation, Josten added class rings to his product line, to be sold to schools throughout the Midwest.

On October 14, 2015, Jarden announced that it would acquire Jostens for $1.5 billion, stating that it planned to take advantage of synergies with its other properties (particularly Rawlings and Yankee Candle), and "turn it into a true consumer-product business, as opposed to it historically being run like a printing asset".

After being acquired by Jarden in 2015, Jarden merged with Newell Rubbermaid in 2016 to form Newell Brands.
