Church & Dwight Co., Inc., founded in 1846, is the world?s leading producer of sodium bicarbonate, popularly known as baking soda, a natural product which cleans, deodorizes, leavens and buffers. The Company?s ARM & HAMMER brand is one of the nation?s most trusted trademarks for a broad range of consumer and specialty products developed from the base of bicarbonate and related technologies.
Church & Dwight Consumer Products now encompass four categories: Deodorizing and Household Cleaning, Laundry, Personal Care and International. Over half of the domestic products are sold under the ARM & HAMMER brand name and derivative trademarks, including ARM & HAMMER DENTAL CARE Toothpaste, ARM & HAMMER Liquid Laundry Detergent and ARM & HAMMER SUPER SCOOP Clumping Cat Litter.
New in 2001 were the laundry brands XTRA and NICE?N FLUFFY, part of the acquisition of USA Detergents, Inc. Later that year, Church & Dwight also acquired the consumer products business of Carter-Wallace, Inc., purchasing outright the ARRID Antiperspirant and the LAMBERT KAY Pet Care businesses. Armkel, LLC, Church & Dwight?s 50/50 joint venture with the private equity group, Kelso & Company, acquired the remainder of the Carter-Wallace consumer products businesses, including such brands as TROJAN Condoms, NAIR Depilatories and FIRST RESPONSE Home Pregnancy and Ovulation Test Kits. Combining these products with the Company?s existing product lines makes Church & Dwight one of the leading consumer packaged goods companies in the United States.
Church & Dwight?s Specialty Products segment, a leader in specialty inorganic chemicals and animal nutrition, is organized into three categories: Specialty Chemicals, Animal Nutrition and Specialty Cleaners.
