Procter & Gamble
The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) is an American multinational consumer goods corporation headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, and incorporated in Ohio.
The company operates five divisions: Beauty (18% of 2024 revenues), which includes Head & Shoulders, Herbal Essences, Pantene, Rejoice, Olay, Old Spice, Safeguard, Secret, SK-II, and Native; Grooming (8% of 2024 revenues), which includes Braun, Gillette, and Venus; Health Care (14% of 2024 revenues), which includes Crest, Oral-B, Metamucil, Neurobion, Pepto-Bismol, and Vicks; Fabric & Home Care (36% of 2024 revenues), which includes Ariel, Downy, Gain, Tide, Cascade, Dawn, Fairy, Febreze, Mr. Clean, and Swiffer; and Baby, Feminine & Family Care (24% of 2024 revenues), which includes Luvs, Pampers, Always, Tampax, Bounty, Charmin, and Puffs. The company owns brands that are in many cases the global brand leader in their category. Many of the brands have a market share greater than 25%.
The company generates 48% of its sales in the United States and 52% of its sales in other countries. The company manufactures 90% of its merchandise in the United States.
The company is ranked 51st on the Fortune 500 and 60th on the Forbes Global 2000.
The company was founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble.
Candlemaker William Procter, born in England, and soap maker James Gamble, born in Ireland, both emigrated to the US from the United Kingdom. They initially settled in Cincinnati, Ohio, and met when they married sisters Olivia and Elizabeth Norris. Alexander Norris, their father-in-law, persuaded them to become business partners, and in 1837, Procter & Gamble was created.
From 1858 to 1859, sales reached $1 million. By that point, about 80 employees worked for Procter & Gamble. During the American Civil War, the company won contracts to supply the Union Army with soap and candles. In addition to the increased profits experienced during the war, the military contracts introduced soldiers from all over the country to Procter & Gamble's products.
In the 1880s, Procter & Gamble began to market a new product, an inexpensive soap that floated in water. The company called the soap Ivory. William Arnett Procter, William Procter's grandson, began a profit-sharing program for the company's workforce in 1887. By giving the workers a stake in the company, he correctly assumed that they would be less likely to go on strike.
