These two immigrants saw the booming demand for reliable household essentials, a niche that would eventually fuel the company into the global powerhouse it is today.

Over the decades, Procter & Gamble expanded its product line, becoming a master of brand management and consumer goods innovation. Through savvy marketing strategies and a keen focus on consumer research, P&G transformed a burgeoning chemical industry into a portfolio of legendary brands, including Tide, Pampers, and Gillette, winning the hearts of consumers worldwide.
