Manufacturing & Origin

Retail listings and packaging for this Colgate First Smiles SKU commonly show production in Poland and Colgate operates manufacturing operations in Poland (Colgate-Palmolive Manufacturing (Poland) Sp. z o.o.). While the photographed tube appears to match the European-manufactured packaging, Colgate products are produced in multiple plants worldwide, so regional supply can vary. The most frequent origin for this exact 0–5 strawberry SKU is Poland — therefore it is best described as primarily manufactured in Poland, though Colgate may produce similar formulations in other locations for different markets.

Brand History & Ownership

The Colgate brand traces back to William Colgate, who founded William Colgate & Company in New York in 1806. The Colgate brand and its oral-care products are now part of the Colgate-Palmolive Company, an American multinational headquartered in New York City. Colgate-Palmolive is the ultimate owner and global marketer of the Colgate brand; local manufacturing and distribution for products made in Poland is handled by Colgate-Palmolive Manufacturing (Poland) Sp. z o.o.

Practical Notes

Packaging and the stated country of manufacture can differ by market and production batch. If you need definitive confirmation for a specific tube (for regulatory, import, or traceability reasons), check the fine print on the back of the tube where the exact manufacturing address and batch/lot code are printed.
