Never heard of Masco? You're not alone.
There's a good chance you've bought some of Masco's brand-name products, however. The company's lineup includes KraftMaid kitchen cabinets, Behr paints and Delta faucets.
You can buy a lot of them at Home Depot -- Masco's biggest customer -- as well as Lowe's and other retailers.
If you've bought a new home, you might find a Masco faucet or cabinet in your kitchen or bath.
"In the consumer durables world, (Masco is) the biggest by far," said analyst Kevin Hughes of SunTrust Robinson Humphrey.
With about $12 billion in annual revenue expected this year, Masco outsells more recognizable names such as American Standard, Stanley Works, Black & Decker and Fortune Brands, maker of Moen Faucets and Aristokraft cabinets.
