Spontex cleaning sponge

Spontex is a leading global brand in the household cleaning tools sector, famously known for its high-quality sponges, cloths, and gloves. The brand's journey began in France in 1932 with the invention of the world's first cellulose sponge by the manufacturing company Spontex-Cellulose. The brand name itself is a portmanteau of 'sponge' and 'textile'.

Over the decades, Spontex expanded its reach across Europe and the Americas, becoming a household name represented by its iconic mascot, the hedgehog. Today, the brand's products are manufactured in multiple locations across Europe and Asia. Since 2010, Spontex has been part of the Jarden Corporation, which later merged with Newell Brands. Currently, Spontex is a core brand within the Newell Brands portfolio, a global American conglomerate headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
