Colgate is one of the most recognized oral care brands globally, with a history spanning over two centuries. The brand was founded in the United States by William Colgate in the early 1800s. Originally starting as a starch, soap, and candle business, the company introduced its first toothpaste in a jar in 1873 and later revolutionized the industry by selling it in a collapsible tube.
Today, Colgate products are manufactured in dozens of facilities across six continents, with major production sites in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, China, and various European nations to serve local markets efficiently. The brand is the flagship label of the Colgate-Palmolive Company, a massive multinational corporation.
As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, the company continues to dominate the global toothpaste market, emphasizing sustainability and clinical innovation. It remains a publicly traded American entity, headquartered in New York City, and operates through various local subsidiaries to manage regional distribution and marketing worldwide.
