Unilever PLC is a British multinational consumer packaged goods company headquartered in London, England. It was founded in 1930 following the merger of Dutch margarine producer Margarine Unie with British soap maker Lever Brothers. The company's products include baby food, beauty products, cleaning agents, healthcare and hygiene products, and toothpaste. It is the largest producer of soap in the world, and its products are available in over 190 countries. The company is organised into four main business groups: Beauty & Wellbeing, Personal Care, Home Care, and Nutrition. It has research and development facilities in China, India, the Netherlands, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In the 1930s, Unilever acquired the United Africa Company. In the second half of the 20th century, the company increasingly diversified from being a maker of products made of oils and fats, and expanded its operations worldwide. It has made numerous corporate acquisitions, including Lipton, Brooke Bond, Pond's, Colman's, Hellmann's, Ben & Jerry's, SlimFast, Knorr, Alberto-Culver, Dollar Shave Club, and Pukka Herbs. Wikipedia
