The Company

Procter & Gamble (P&G), a consumer goods giant, has been a trusted name for over a century since its establishment in 1837. P&G's products, such as Pampers, Tide, Gillette, and Crest, are household names.

P&G sells its products in nearly 180 countries, and more than half of the company's sales are in international markets.

A P&G product is likely within reach in your home right now.

P&G's extensive range of brands will continue as household staples for decades.

Procter & Gamble's origins trace back to Cincinnati, Ohio, where William Procter, a candle maker, and James Gamble, a soap maker, founded it.

The partnership took root in 1837 and received a substantial boost during the Civil War when P&G secured contracts to supply the Union Army with soap and candles.

One of the company's landmark products, Ivory soap, was launched in 1879. James Norris Gamble, a chemist and son of co-founder James Gamble, developed this pure white soap, diverging from the brown soaps ordinary at the time. The name "Ivory" was inspired by a verse from Psalm 45, referencing "ivory palaces," which Harley Procter, son of co-founder William Procter, believed evoked a sense of purity and cleanliness. A pivotal marketing strategy emphasized Ivory's 99.44% purity, setting it apart from competitors.
