Established in 1837, The Procter & Gamble Company began as a small, family operated soap and candle company in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Today, P&G markets more than 250 products to more than five billion consumers in 130 countries. P&G has 12 billion dollar brands in its portfolio. These brands represent more than half of the Company's sales and earnings and include Pampers, Tide, Ariel, Always, Pantene, Charmin, Bounty, Iams, Crest, Folgers, Pringles and Downy. They also account for the majority of P&G's consumer interactions - the millions of "moments of truth" we face and win everyday. Procter & Gamble's corporate tradition is rooted in the principles of personal integrity, respect for the individual and doing what's right for the long-term. More than 106,000 P&G people work every day to provide products of superior quality and value to the world's consumers. Research & Development Many people think of P&G as simply a marketing company and are surprised by the enormous depth and breadth of our science capability. Last year, our company invested over $1.7 billion in research and development at 19 technical centers and nearly 100 universities around the world.
