After quickly finding it's footing, P&G managed to reach the $1 million sales mark in 1859 and soon after hit the big time with the introduction of Ivory soap in 1879. Today, Procter & Gamble is over 100,000 employees strong with on the ground operations in more than 80 countries. P&G remains the world's largest manufacturer and marketer of household products and reaches across a spectrum of more than 250 products that it markets in 140 countries worldwide.
