Bic razor

Bic is a world-renowned brand synonymous with disposable consumer products. Founded in France in 1944, the company initially focused on ballpoint pens but expanded into the shaving industry in 1975 with the launch of the first single-piece disposable razor. Today, Bic razors are a staple in global bathrooms, offering a wide range of products from simple single-blade models to advanced multi-blade systems for both men and women.

Manufacturing for Bic razors is distributed across several strategic global locations to optimize supply chains and meet regional demand. Significant production facilities are located in France, Greece (the headquarters for Bic's shaving research and development), Brazil, and Mexico. This multi-country manufacturing strategy allows Bic to remain competitive and maintain high quality across diverse markets.

Ownership of the brand remains tied to its French roots. Société Bic S.A. is a publicly traded company on the Euronext Paris exchange, but the Bich family continues to hold a significant controlling stake. As of 2026 and beyond, Bic remains an independent global leader in the stationery, lighters, and shavers categories, headquartered in Clichy, France. The company emphasizes sustainable development and the production of affordable, high-quality household essentials.
