In the UK, Procter and Gamble (ARIEL) are one of the largest as well as famous detergent firms.  It was started its journey in 1837 by William Procter (who was a candle maker) and James Gamble (who was a soap maker).

The main products of the company are related to fabric and home care, health care, beauty and grooming, pet food, and baby and family care.
