Reckitt Benckiser Brand Group

Reckitt Benckiser, now operating under the name Reckitt, is a global leader in the health, hygiene, and nutrition sectors. The company's origins trace back to the 19th century in the United Kingdom and Germany, formed through a series of mergers, most notably between Reckitt & Sons and J&J Colman in 1938, and later with the Dutch company Benckiser N.V. in 1999.

Today, Reckitt manages an extensive portfolio of world-renowned brands such as Lysol, Dettol, Durex, Mucinex, and Vanish. These products are manufactured in dozens of facilities located across Europe, North America, and Asia to serve their global markets efficiently. The company focuses heavily on sustainable innovation and remains a constituent of the FTSE 100 on the London Stock Exchange.

As of 2026, Reckitt remains an independent public limited company headquartered in Slough, England. It operates through various regional subsidiaries and legal entities that manage local distribution and marketing, ensuring its essential hygiene and health products are accessible in nearly 200 countries worldwide.
