Oral-B PRO-1 Duo Electric Toothbrush

manufacturedPrimarily in Germany, but also produced in other locations

Oral-B is a global leader in the oral hygiene market, most famous for its electric toothbrushes. The brand was originally established in the United States in 1950 by Dr. Robert W. Huston, who invented a soft nylon bristled toothbrush.

Today, Oral-B is owned by the American multi-national consumer goods corporation Procter & Gamble (P&G), which acquired the brand in 2005 through its merger with Gillette. In Europe, many high-end Oral-B electric toothbrushes, specifically under the Braun partnership, are manufactured in Germany to ensure high precision and engineering standards.

As of 2024 and beyond, the brand remains a central part of P&G's health care portfolio. Manufacturing follows a global strategy, though the core engineering and design legacy remains deeply rooted in German technology due to its long-standing collaboration with Braun.
