Somat Geschirrspülmittel

Somat is a brand of dishwashing detergents and additives developed by Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, a German multinational company headquartered in Düsseldorf. Introduced in 1962, Somat was the first detergent in Germany specifically designed for dishwashers. Initially, the product line included a powder detergent and a rinse aid, both produced by Böhme Chemie. Over the years, the brand expanded its offerings to include special salt (1976), machine cleaner (1982), and the first dishwasher tablets ('tabs') in 1989. In 1999, Somat introduced the 2in1 tablets, combining detergent and rinse aid in a single tablet. Today, Somat continues to be a leading brand in the dishwasher detergent market, offering a range of products designed to ensure optimal cleaning and care for dishware. The brand is primarily manufactured in Germany, with Henkel Waschmittel GmbH overseeing production. Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, the parent company, is a global leader in consumer and industrial goods, operating in over 120 countries worldwide.
