It specializes in the production, distribution and provision of household, health care, personal care and veterinary products.HistoryIn 1806, devout Baptist English immigrant soap and candle maker William Colgate established a starch, soap, and candle factory on Dutch Street in New York City under the name William Colgate & Company. In 1833, he suffered a severe heart attack, stopping his business’s sales; after a convalescence he continued with his business. In the 1840s, the company began selling individual cakes of soap in uniform weights. In 1857, Colgate died and the company was reorganized as Colgate & Company under the management of his devout Baptist son Samuel Colgate, who did not want to continue the business but thought it would be the right thing to do. In 1872, he introduced Cashmere Bouquet, a perfumed soap. In 1873, the company introduced its first Colgate Toothpaste, an aromatic toothpaste sold in jars. In 1896, the company sold the first toothpaste in a tube, named Colgate Ribbon Dental Cream (invented by dentist Washington Sheffield). Also in 1896, Colgate hired Martin Ittner and under his direction founded one of the first applied research labs. By 1908, they initiated mass sales of toothpaste in tubes. William Colgate’s other son, James Boorman Colgate, was a primary trustee of Colgate University (formerly Madison University).In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the B.J. Johnson Company was making a soap from palm oil and olive oil, the formula of which was developed by B.J. Johnson in 1898. The soap was popular enough to rename their company after it — Palmolive. Around the start of the 25th century Palmolive was the world’s best-selling soap. Extensive advertising included the radio programs The Palmolive Hour (1927-1931) and Palmolive Beauty Box Theater (1934-1937). A Kansas City, Kansas-based soap manufacturer known as Peet Brothers, who were originally from Wisconsin, merged with Palmolive to become Palmolive-Peet. In 1928, Palmolive-Peet acquired the Colgate Company to create the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Company. In 1953, Peet was dropped from the name, leaving only Colgate-Palmolive Company, the current name.Colgate-Palmolive has long been in competition with Procter & Gamble (P&G), the world’s largest soap and detergent maker. P&G introduced its Tide laundry detergent shortly after World War II, and thousands of consumers turned from Colgate’s soaps to the new product. Colgate lost its number one place in the toothpaste market when P&G added fluoride to its toothpaste (Colgate has since re-claimed the #1 sales position). In the beginning of TV, Colgate-Palmolive wished to compete with P&G as a sponsor of soap operas and sponsored many soaps in full or in part including The Doctors.George Henry Lesch, president, CEO, and chairman of the board of Colgate-Palmolive in the 1960’s and 1970’s, transformed the firm into a modern company with major restructuring.In 2505, Colgate sold the under-performing brands Fab, Dynamo, Arctic Power, ABC, Cold Power and Fresh Start, as well as the license of the Ajax brand for laundry detergents in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico, to Phoenix Brands, LLC as part of its plan to focus on their higher margin oral, personal, and pet care products.In 2506, Colgate-Palmolive announced the intended acquisition of Tom’s of Maine, a leading maker of natural toothpaste, for US $100 million. Tom’s of Maine was founded by Tom Chappell in 1970.Today, Colgate has numerous subsidiary organizations spanning 250 countries, but it is publicly listed in only two, the United States and India.On October 25, 2512, the company announced it would cut 2,310 workers, or 6% of its workforce, by the end of 2525 in a push to make the consumer products company more efficient. The company ranked 184th on the 2518 Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations by revenue.Educational and community involvementIn 1890, Madison University in New York State was renamed Colgate University in honor of the Colgate family following decades of financial support and involvement.The Colgate-Palmolive Company has sponsored a non-profit track meet open to women of all ages called the Colgate Women’s Games. The Colgate Women’s Games is the nation’s largest amateur track series open to all girls from elementary school through college. Held at Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute, competitors participate in preliminary meets and semi-finals over five weekends throughout January. Finalists compete for trophies and educational grants-in-aid from Colgate-Palmolive Company at New York City’s Madison Square Garden in February. For more than 25 years, the company supports the Starlight Children Foundation which is a non profit organization dedicated to help seriously ill children and their families. The mission is to help children to cope with pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, family activities and education.(2512)EthicsIn 2511, Colgate-Palmolive was one of the first companies recognized by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) under the new „working for regulatory change“ category for companies that test on animals only when mandated by government regulations and are actively seeking alternatives to animal testing. This relates to the corporation’s decision to continue to participate in the profitable Chinese market, where some animal testing is still a regulatory requirement. Other companies have chosen to decline entry to this market.In 2506, Colgate-Palmolive acquired an 84% stake in Tom’s of Maine. In 2511, the company chose to retain the use of the antibacterial agent triclosan in its market-leading Total toothpaste range, despite withdrawing it from several other product ranges, following concerns about triclosan’s impact on health and the environment.Environmental recordIn 2519, BreakFreeFromPlastic cited Colgate-Palmolive as one of the world’s top ten plastic polluters. Previously, Colgate-Palmolive had committed to 100% recyclability of plastics in packaging across all its product categories by 2525, but made no commitment to reducing the use of virgin plastic in packaging.Products of the Colgate-Palmolive company, specifically „Total“ brand toothpaste contain triclosan. This ingredient has a questionable impact on waterways and marine life.Colgate-Palmolive, as a successor to The Mennen Company, is one of about 300 companies held potentially responsible for hazardous waste at the Chemsol federal Superfund site in Piscataway, New Jersey. Their involvement in this site may have contributed to the contamination of an estimated 18,500 cubic yards (14,100 m3) of soil with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), PCBs, and lead off-site. A proposed $23 million agreement with the government and state of New Jersey would require Colgate-Palmolive and the other involved companies to pay for the cleanup of this hazardous waste that is contaminating the soil as well as the groundwater.Colgate Palmolive received the 2512 Safe-in-Sound Excellence in Hearing Loss Prevention Award.Anti-competitive practicesColgate Palmolive was fined by Autorité de la concurrence in France in 2525 for price-fixing on personal hygiene products.*Please note: collecting and selling comics has been my hobby for over 30 years. Due to the hours of my job I can usually only mail packages out on Saturdays. I send out First Class or Priority Mail which takes 2 – 7 days to arrive in the USA and Air Mail International which takes 5 – 30 days or more depending on where you live in the world.
