Procter & Gamble Co.
The world's largest soap and detergent manufacturer, based in the United States. Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble, the company gained a reputation for its high quality products, and received large orders from the Confederate Army during the Civil War, which established the company's foundations. The soap "Ivory," released in 1879, became a best-seller and is still sold today. In 1932, the company also purchased a patent for synthetic detergent from Germany and began selling commercial products, and in 1946, it released the synthetic detergent for households, "Tide," which became an explosive hit.
