Reckitt

Reckitt's origins trace back to 1840 when Isaac Reckitt established Reckitt & Sons Ltd in Hull, England, focusing on household products like laundry starch. The company expanded internationally, opening branches in Australia and the United States. In 1999, Reckitt & Sons Ltd merged with Dutch company Benckiser N.V. to form Reckitt Benckiser Group plc, now known as Reckitt. The company operates globally, manufacturing products in multiple countries. As of 2025, Reckitt is a publicly traded company headquartered in the United Kingdom, with no known subsidiaries owning the brand locally.
