BRIEF HISTORY
Procter & Gamble was established in 1837 when candle maker William Procter and his brother-in-law, soap maker James Gamble merged their small businesses. They set up a shop in Cincinnati and nicknamed it "porkopolis" because of its dependence on swine slaughterhouses. The shop made candles and soaps from the leftover fats. By 1859, P&G had become one of the largest companies in Cincinnati, with sales of $1 million. The company introduced Ivory, a floating soap, in 1879 and Crisco, the first all-vegetable shortening, in 1911.

In 1988, the company formed a joint venture to manufacture products in China. P&G became the biggest cosmetics company in America when it acquired Noxell (1989) and Max Factor (1991).
In 1990, Ed Artzt, who had been heading P&G’s international operations since the 1980s, replaced Smale as the CEO. Two years later, the company initiated an everyday low-pricing policy that reduced its reliance on coupons and trade promotions. The move helped in smoothening demand fluctuations and allowed P&G...
