P&G serves consumers around the world with one of the strongest portfolios of trusted, quality, leadership brands, including Always®, Ambi Pur®, Ariel®, Bounty®, Charmin®, Crest®, Dawn®, Downy®, Fairy®, Febreze®, Gain®, Gillette®, Head & Shoulders®, Lenor®, Olay®, Oral-B®, Pampers®, Pantene®, SK-II®, Tide®, Vicks®, and Whisper®. The P&G community includes operations in approximately 70 countries worldwide.
Founded in 1837, P&G has a rich heritage of innovation, originally inspired by the potential of biowaste from the pork industry to create value with candles and soap. Since then, we have continually pushed the boundaries of innovation by harnessing the power of chemistry and bioscience.
Our advancements in bioscience are noteworthy, including the introduction of hand soap that expanded into cleaning clothes and the addition of enzymes to Ariel and Tide XK laundry detergents in 1968 for superior cleaning. We have also leveraged our understanding of microbiome to enhance gut health through our Align probiotic products. Our commitment to cutting-edge science is further exemplified by our utilization of genomics to bring niacinamide to the Olay brand, as well as the integration of natural botanicals in Herbal Essences. Additionally, we have introduced fermented L-Histidine in Pantene and Herbal Essences to boost hair benefits and expanded the reach of SK-II, skincare formulated with the yeast ferment metabolite Pitera™, known for its youthful skin benefits.
Today, we remain dedicated to advancing our product offerings through the latest scientific innovations, ensuring they are not only irresistibly superior in quality but also sustainable. Please visit https://www.pg.com for the latest news and information about P&G and its brands. Be sure to join P&G at their sponsored happy hour on April 28!
MLC is a leading provider of high-purity, food-grade calcium-based alkaline reagents — including calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide (lime) — for biomanufacturing and fermentation. MLC supplies dry and slurry-form reagents that support pH control, product isolation, acid recovery, biomass handling, and wastewater treatment, giving operators a reliable, consistent alkaline chemistry they can build their operations around.
Through the acquisition of Burnett Lime, MLC now also designs and supports precision dosing and delivery systems for calcium milk-of-lime slurries. These systems solve persistent process challenges — reagent inconsistency, solids settling, mixing variability, and localized pH shock — so operators can maintain tighter control where it matters most.
Our shared mission is to make calcium‑based solutions easier to adopt, safer to handle, and more predictable at scale, giving biomanufacturers another tool to improve process stability, product recovery, and overall economic performance. MLC looks forward to collaborating with BioMADE and its members to bring practical, proven solutions to the challenges shaping the future of biomanufacturing.
