Gillette is a global leader in men's grooming, founded in 1901 by King C. Gillette. The brand revolutionized personal care by introducing the safety razor with disposable blades. For over a century, the brand has remained at the forefront of shaving technology, transitioning from traditional steel blades to multi-blade systems and advanced powered trimmers.
While the brand originated in the United States, its manufacturing operations are now highly globalized. Major production facilities are located in Poland (one of its largest factories), Brazil, Mexico, and China, while high-end blade research and some manufacturing continue in Boston, Massachusetts. This distributed network ensures a steady supply of razors and shaving gels to markets worldwide.
Since 2005, Gillette has been a flagship brand under the ownership of Procter & Gamble (P&G). As part of P&G's Grooming segment, Gillette benefits from massive R&D resources and a global distribution infrastructure. Today, it remains one of the world's most recognizable consumer brands, headquartered logically within P&G's corporate structure in Cincinnati, Ohio.
