II. Background Information
Introduction to Proctor and Gamble
Proctor and Gamble was founded by William Proctor and James Gamble in 1837. Proctor was an English migrant and candle maker, Gamble was a soap maker from Ireland.
At the beginning, the Procter and Gamble soap making method was not much different from what women already did in their homes. But the Civil War began in 1861, and the government began ordering lots of soap for its soldiers. This increased Porctor and Gamble’s business by a great deal.
A new soap making technique was discovered in the 1870s when a machine was left on during the lunch time. It made bubbles in the soap, so the soap floated. The new soap was called Ivory. The first bar was sold in 1879.
Proctor and Gamble is now a leading international manufacturer of household products. It markets over 250 brands to nearly five billion consumers in over 140 countries. These brands include Tide, Crest, Pantene, Always, Pringles, Pampers, Olay, Folgers. Cover Girl, Downy, Dawn, Bounty, and Charmin.
