Unilever Assiment
COMPANY’S INTRODUCTION HISTORY

Unilever was created in 1930 by the amalgamation of the operations of British soap maker Lever Brothers and Dutch margarine producer Margarine Unie, a merger as palm oil was a major raw material for both margarines and soaps and could be imported more efficiently in larger quantities. In the late 19th century the businesses that would later become Unilever were among the most philanthropic of their time. They set up projects to improve the lot of their workers and created products with a positive social impact, making hygiene and personal care commonplace and improving nutrition through adding vitamins to foods that were already daily staples. Today, Unilever still believes that success means acting with 'the highest standards of corporate behavior towards our employees, consumers and the societies and world in which we live'. Over the years we've launched or participated in an ever-growing range of initiatives to source sustainable supplies of raw materials, protect environments, support local communities and much more.

    From its genesis Unilever adopted a dual company structure i.e. having two headquarters, one in London (Unilever PLC) and the other in Rotterdam (Unilever NV) which shared a common board of directors with a citizen from each headquarters as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the organization. By 1930 the United Africa Company (UAC), a company that had a very strong position in Western Africa in export-import trade merged with Unilever. The two parent companies owned factories and trading subsidiaries in Asia and Africa. Unilever in the early years from 1909 to 1933 built and also purchased factories in Japan, Argentina, Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia and India. Between 1945 and 1980 they expanded their activities in mostly Western Europe and the product line in those early years were margarine and soap products until Unilever began to diversify into new areas in the market into the food sector - frozen foods, transport, chemicals and printing.

    2. Unilever and P&G did an outstanding job harmonizing their brand portfolio internationally. Unilever was to reduce its portfolio from 1600 brands to 400 which they believed would allow to save on production from reduced stock-keeping units, concentrate their marketing support and the leaner, more powerful portfolio would give the company leverage with retailers.
