Procter & Gamble Sells Bleach Products Business

Procter & Gamble Sells Bleach Products Business

Procter & Gamble Co. started the new year with a divestiture.

P&G (NYSE: PG) sold its bleach products business in Western Europe to Fater, an Italian joint venture that P&G has operated with the Angelini Group since the early 1990s.

Terms of the Dec. 31 transaction were not revealed. P&G transferred hard-surface cleaning products sold under the Ace and Neoblanc brand names. The deal did not include Ace laundry products.

“They’re strong brands and they’re growing market share, but the fabric-care bleach business has a limited global footprint,” said P&G spokesman Paul Fox, who added that Fater’s “proven abilities in innovation” should enable future growth.

P&G announced the sale to its external business partners in October.
