Somat In-Cycle Machine Cleaner

Somat is a premium detergent brand that was founded in 1962 in Germany by Henkel. It was specifically developed as the first detergent in Germany designed for automatic dishwashers, marking a significant milestone in household convenience. The product shown, Somat In-Cycle Machine Cleaner, is designed to clean the dishwasher while it is running a load of dishes, targeting grease and limescale buildup inside the appliance.

Today, Somat remains a core brand under the Henkel AG & Co. KGaA umbrella. Manufacturing primarily takes place in Germany, though Henkel operates various facilities across Europe to support regional markets. Henkel is a global leader in the laundry, home care, and adhesive technology sectors, headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany. The brand is distributed globally, often through local Henkel subsidiaries that manage marketing and supply chain logistics for specific territories.
