Plackers Twin dental floss picks

Plackers is a pioneer in the oral care industry, recognized for inventing the first dental flosser. The brand originated in the United States, founded by caregivers who sought to make flossing easier and more accessible for everyone. Over the years, Plackers has grown from a specialized tool into a household name for dental hygiene, known for products like the Micro Mint and Twin flossing lines.

The manufacturing of Plackers products, including the Twin flossers shown, primarily takes place in China to ensure cost-efficiency and global distribution scale. Despite the international manufacturing, the quality control and brand management remain aligned with the standards set by its parent company.

In terms of ownership, Plackers was acquired by Ranir LLC in 2008. Ranir was subsequently acquired in 2019 by Perrigo Company plc, a leading global provider of consumer self-care products headquartered in Ireland. Today, Plackers operates as a key brand within Perrigo’s extensive oral care portfolio, maintaining a strong market presence in North America and Europe. In the Nordic region, distribution and local management are often handled by regional entities such as Humble Group (formerly Humble Co) through various agreements.
