Glade Air freshener

Glade is a globally recognized brand specializing in home fragrance and air care products. Originally introduced in the United States in 1956, the brand was developed by S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc. to provide households with effective ways to eliminate odors and introduce pleasant scents into their living environments. Over the decades, Glade has expanded its product line from simple aerosol sprays to included candles, wax melts, automated sprays, and plug-in scented oils.

Manufacturing of Glade products occurs across multiple continents to serve different regional markets. Significant production facilities are located in the United States, Mexico, and various countries within Europe and Asia. This localized manufacturing strategy helps the brand maintain its position as a market leader in the air care industry by ensuring a steady supply of diverse fragrance options tailored to local consumer preferences.

Today, Glade remains a core brand within the portfolio of S. C. Johnson & Son, a private, family-led American multinational company. The parent company is headquartered in Racine, Wisconsin. Unlike many of its competitors who have transitioned to public ownership, S. C. Johnson remains privately held, allowing it to maintain a long-term focus on sustainability and innovation within the Glade product ecosystem.
