Gravity Coffee

Colgate-Palmolive Corporate Office

Colgate-Palmolive

The history of the Colgate-Palmolive Company is a long and interesting one. Founded in 1806 by William Colgate as a small soap and candle business in New York City, the company initially struggled to establish itself in a crowded market.

It wasn’t until the mid-19th century that the company found its niche by introducing the first-ever toothpaste in a jar, a significant departure from traditional tooth powders. This marked a pivotal moment in the company’s evolution.

In parallel, the Palmolive Company, founded by B.J. Johnson in 1864, was gaining prominence with its innovative soap products. The two companies merged in 1928, forming the Colgate-Palmolive Company we know today. The merger allowed them to pool their resources, share their knowledge, and expand their product lines. They ventured into new territories, such as household cleaning products and pet care, becoming a diverse consumer goods conglomerate.
