Gillette is a global leader in the personal care industry, specializing in shaving systems, blades, and grooming accessories. Founded in the early 20th century, the brand revolutionized personal grooming with the introduction of the safety razor, moving away from the conventional straight razor. Today, it remains one of the most recognized household names worldwide, synonymous with innovation in blade technology.

While the brand originated in the United States, its manufacturing footprint is truly global. Production occurs in various regions, including the United States, Mexico, Poland, Brazil, and China, to serve international markets efficiently. This decentralized manufacturing strategy ensures that Gillette can maintain high supply standards across different continents while adapting to local market needs.

Ownership of Gillette transitioned to Procter & Gamble (P&G) in 2005, marking one of the largest acquisitions in consumer goods history. Under P&G’s management, Gillette has expanded its portfolio to include advanced power razors and skincare products. The brand benefits from P&G's extensive global distribution network and research and development capabilities, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio.
