Sun laundry detergent

The Sun brand is a well-established name in the North American household cleaning market, particularly known for its value-oriented laundry detergents and fabric softeners. The brand's history is rooted in Huish Detergents, Inc., founded by Dan Huish in 1975, which eventually became the Sun Products Corporation after merging with Unilever's North American laundry business in 2008.

In 2016, a major shift in ownership occurred when the German multinational Henkel AG & Co. KGaA acquired The Sun Products Corporation for approximately $3.6 billion. This acquisition solidified Henkel's position as the second-largest player in the North American laundry care market. Today, Sun products are manufactured primarily in the United States, utilizing facilities across states like Kentucky, Tennessee, and Utah. The brand remains a key part of the Henkel North American Consumer Goods portfolio, catering to consumers looking for effective and affordable fabric care solutions.
