Colgate is a world-renowned American brand specialized in oral care products. The brand's history dates back to 1806 when William Colgate started a starch, soap, and candle business in New York City. The first Colgate toothpaste was actually sold in jars in 1873, with the iconic collapsible tube format appearing in 1896.

Today, the Colgate brand is owned by the Colgate-Palmolive Company, a global consumer products giant. While the brand is American by origin and headquarters, its manufacturing is highly decentralized to serve global markets. For the European market, a significant portion of production, including the Max White range, takes place in Świdnica, Poland, though the company maintains a massive manufacturing footprint across dozens of countries worldwide.
