Persil: Brand Profile

So who makes best-selling laundry detergent Persil? Unilever. No, Henkel. No, both of them, actually. In fact the answer depends on whether you're British or German. The biggest household marketers in the UK and Germany actually split ownership of the brand between them. Neither company particularly relishes that situation but occasional attempts by either one to buy out the other have regularly led to a polite but firm refusal. But at least both are united in their opposition to US giant Procter & Gamble. Click here for the Adbrands.net profile (subscribers only); or subscribe to Adbrands.net here.
