MIDDLETON, WIS. — U.S. Bank and The Livesy Co. closed on the $27.5 million loan that will finance construction of Spectrum Brands Holdings' new world headquarters building in Middleton, a Madison suburb. Spectrum, the maker of Rayovac batteries, Remington shavers and small appliances, was founded in Madison as Rayovac Batteries in 1906. The company has been headquartered in the greater Madison area ever since for all but six years. Spectrum's new 222,000-square-foot headquarters will house 600 employees and include a technology center. Construction of the building is already under way and is scheduled to be completed in late 2013.
