Cillit Bang is a major global brand of cleaning products, particularly well-known for its powerful limescale and grime removal capabilities. The brand was officially launched in Hungary in 2003 by the consumer goods giant Reckitt Benckiser (now simply Reckitt) before being rolled out across Europe and internationally. The 'Cillit' name itself has deeper roots, tracing back to the German company Cillichemie, founded by Ernst Vogelmann in 1903, which was later acquired by Benckiser in 1982.
Today, the product is manufactured in several locations across Europe and globally to serve its wide distribution network. It is famously associated with the 'Barry Scott' marketing campaign in the UK, which helped it become a household name. Ownership remains with Reckitt, a British multinational headquartered in Slough, which manages a diverse portfolio of health and hygiene brands including Dettol, Vanish, and Lysol.
