Gillette safety razor and blades

Gillette is an iconic brand that revolutionized personal grooming. Founded in 1901 by King C. Gillette, the company introduced the world to the safety razor, moving away from traditional straight razors. Over the decades, it has become synonymous with shaving excellence and innovation in blade technology.

Manufacturing for Gillette products occurs globally, with major facilities located in the United States, Poland, Brazil, and China, ensuring a worldwide supply chain. This distributed production model allows the brand to maintain high standards of quality control across different markets.

In 2005, a major industry shift occurred when Procter & Gamble (P&G) acquired The Gillette Company. Today, Gillette sits within P&G's Grooming segment as one of its most profitable brands. P&G continues to drive the brand forward through continuous research and development, maintaining its position as a global leader in the shaving industry.
