Market Position/ History |
Church & Dwight, founded in 1846, began as a baking soda company with its iconic ARM & HAMMER brand. The company entered the oral care market significantly in 2003 by acquiring Unilever’s U.S. toothpaste brands: AIM, PEPSODENT, MENTADENT, and CLOSE-UP, expanding its offerings beyond ARM & HAMMER toothpaste. In 2008, it strengthened its position by acquiring Orajel, the #1 brand for oral pain relief, including products for children and adults. The most transformative move came in 2017 with the acquisition of Water Pik Inc., maker of the Waterpik Water Flosser, the leading brand in oral irrigators. This marked the company’s entry into advanced oral care devices, solidifying its position in both therapeutic and preventive oral hygiene. Church & Dwight has consistently grown its oral care portfolio through strategic acquisitions, catering to evolving consumer needs in both traditional and innovative oral health solutions. |
