Somat Classic Pulver

Somat is a renowned brand of automatic dishwasher detergents that has been a staple in European households for decades. Introduced in 1962 by the German chemical and consumer goods giant Henkel, it was the first detergent in Germany specifically developed for automatic dishwashers. Since its inception, the brand has remained at the forefront of innovation in the kitchen cleaning sector, evolving from simple powders to complex multi-action tabs and gels.

The product is primarily manufactured in Germany, where Henkel maintains significant production facilities, though global distribution may involve production in other regional centers to meet market demand. Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, headquartered in Düsseldorf, continues to be the ultimate owner and producer of Somat, managing it as one of their leading global laundry and home care brands. The brand’s history is closely tied to the rise of domestic labor-saving appliances in post-war Europe.
