In 1884, William Hesketh Lever, founder of Lever Bros, wrote down his ideas for Sunlight Soap – his revolutionary new product that helped popularise cleanliness and hygiene in Victorian England.

It was 'to make cleanliness commonplace; to lessen work for women; to foster health and contribute to personal attractiveness, that life may be more enjoyable and rewarding for the people who use our products'.

1963 Cornetto, the first packag

ed and branded ice cream cone, begins its launch in Europe.

Unilever's history and development in China.

Unilever's history in China can be traced back to 80 years ago, when Lever Brother established its first operation in Shanghai in 1923 and became the largest soap maker in the Far East.

In 1986, Unilever re-established itself in Shanghai, committed to building and maintaining a successful business in China.

Unilever has introduced over 20 brands to Chinese consumers, covering home and personal care, food and beverages and ice cream.

From 1986 to 2001, the breadth of the involvement in China adds up to about US$1 billion in investment, the introduction of more than 100 types of advanced technologies, creation of 14,000 job opportunities and more than 4000 local employees.

Unilever's business in China mainly covers 3 areas:

Home and personal care-Unilever Co. Ltd. Brands include: Zhonghua, Hazeline, Lux, Pond’s, Dove, Vaseline, Omo etc;

Foods-Unilever Foods China. A wholly owned company by Unilever, producing soups, sauces, dressing and peanut butter,  Lipton  black tea, green tea, jasmine tea, and ready-to-drink tea beverages. 

Ice cream-Wall's China. A wholly owned company by Unilever, producing Cornetto and other ice cream.

In 2004, Unilever made the decision to build its own office building in Shanghai as regional headquarter.

Unilever believes that successful localization starts with the localization of employees. An outstanding local team can better understand and meet the needs of Chinese consumers. In Unilever, 90% managers are recruited and trained locally.

1879James Norris Gamble, son of the founder and a trained chemist, developed an inexpensive white soap equal to high-quality, imported castiles. Inspiration for the soap's name—Ivory—came to Harley Procter, the founder's son, as he read the words "out of ivory palaces" in the Bible one Sunday in church. The name seemed a perfect match for the white soap's purity, mildness, and long-lasting qualities.

1896P&G's first color print advertisement—an ad for Ivory—appeared in Cosmopolitan magazine picturing this "Ivory Lady."

Just five months after the introduction of television in the U.S., P&G aired its first TV commercial (for Ivory soap) during the first televised Major League baseball game.

1955CREST the first toothpaste with fluoride clinically proven to fight cavities, was introduced.

1961Pampers entered a test market in Illinois. Though the first test was unsuccessful, it led to an improved Pampers product at a lower cost that eventually replaced cloth diapers as the preferred way to diaper babies.

1984Liquid Tide introduced. This represented the results of global development with surfactants developed in Japan, fragrance in Europe, and packaging from the United States.

1986The Company developed a new technology that enabled consumers to wash and condition their hair using only one product. Pert Plus/Rejoice shampoo quickly became one of the leading worldwide shampoo brands.

1988 The Company announced a joint

venture to manufacture products in China. This was the Company's first operation in the largest consumer market in the world.

1992

PANTENE was introduced, and it became the fastest growing shampoo in the world.
