Gillette Razors

Gillette is a world-renowned brand specializing in safety razors and personal care products. Founded in 1901 by King C. Gillette in Boston, Massachusetts, the company revolutionized personal grooming with the introduction of the disposable blade safety razor. Over the last century, it has remained at the forefront of shaving technology through constant innovation and marketing leadership.

In 2005, the brand underwent a significant corporate shift when it was acquired by the consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble (P&G). Today, Gillette operates as part of P&G's grooming segment. While its global headquarters remains in Boston, manufacturing is distributed across multiple continents to serve different regional markets, including major facilities in the United States, Poland, Brazil, and China.

As of the mid-2020s, the brand remains a core component of Procter & Gamble's portfolio. The ownership structure is centralized under P&G's American headquarters, ensuring that despite its global manufacturing footprint, the strategic and legal control of the brand remains rooted in the United States.
