Gillette is a business unit of Procter & Gamble. It is the successor of The Gillette Company, which was founded by King Camp Gillette in 1901 as a safety razor manufacturer. It was based in Boston, Massachusetts.
On October 1, 2005, The Gillette Company finalized its purchase by Procter & Gamble. As a result of this merger, the Gillette Company no longer exists. Its last day of market trading – symbol G on the New York Stock Exchange – was September 30, 2005. The merger created the world’s largest personal care and household products company.
Before the merger, Gillette had grown to become a leading global supplier of products under a variety of brands. In addition to Gillette, the company marketed under Braun, Duracell and Oral-B, among others.
