Pepsodent was introduced in the United States in 1915 by the Pepsodent Company; its original formula famously contained pepsin, which inspired the brand name. (en.wikipedia.org)
Ownership is split by territory: Unilever owns and markets Pepsodent across most countries worldwide, while Church & Dwight holds the brand rights and markets Pepsodent in the United States and Canada following a 2003 transaction. (en.wikipedia.org)
Production and packaging of Pepsodent toothpastes occur in multiple manufacturing sites worldwide under the respective regional affiliates (for example, Hindustan Unilever produces and markets Pepsodent in India). This territorial manufacturing and distribution explains why the product is made in multiple countries rather than a single country of manufacture. (hul.co.in)
Current corporate headquarters: Unilever is registered and operates as a major British-headquartered multinational (with global regional offices) and oversees Pepsodent outside North America; Church & Dwight is headquartered in New Jersey, USA and manages the brand in the U.S. and Canada.

In summary: Pepsodent tandkräm is a U.S.-origin toothpaste brand (introduced 1915) manufactured in multiple countries and today owned and controlled by Unilever globally except for the United States and Canada, where Church & Dwight is the ultimate owner/operator of the brand rights.
