The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Ajax began in 1957 in Netherlands as a cleaning product line. The company makes household cleaners and detergents for kitchen and bathroom use. A green bottle with white label became iconic across European supermarkets in the 1960s. The brand built reputation on cutting grease fast. Ajax expanded through Colgate-Palmolive ownership starting in 1971. Today Ajax operates mainly in Europe and Latin America. The cleaner ranks eighth globally among Home, Kitchen & Appliances brands tracked across 21,133 companies. Most consumers know the product for degreasing power on dishes and stovetops. The bottle design remains largely unchanged. Ajax competes in the budget-to-mid range segment. Shelf space in discount retailers defines current market position.
