About Spenser & Williams

Since 1962 we have built brands that make everyday life better — for people and for the planet.

Our story

George Spenser and Alice Williams met at a chemistry conference in 1959. Three years later they founded a small laundry products company in Cincinnati with a single conviction: everyday products should be both effective and responsible.

Today that conviction lives on across eight brands, 72 products, and operations in 22 countries. We remain committed to the principles that drove our founders — performance you can trust, and impact you can feel good about.

Our values

Sustainability first

Every product decision is evaluated through an environmental lens. We have pledged 100% recycled packaging by 2028 and net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030.

Science-led innovation

Our R&D teams in Cincinnati, London, and Singapore develop formulas that outperform and outlast the alternatives.

Consumer trust

We earn trust through transparency — publishing ingredient lists, sustainability progress, and third-party audit results every year.
