PROFILE |
 |
Unilever moves countless products worldwide. One of the world's top makers of packaged consumer goods, Unilever produces deodorants, fragrances, frozen foods, margarine, soap, and tea. Brand names include Ben & Jerry's, Country Crock, Lever 2000, Lipton, Q-Tips, Slim-Fast, and Wisk. Unilever's 2000 purchase of Bestfoods (Hellmann's, Skippy) made it one of the world's top three food firms (after Nestlé and Kraft). Unilever is whittling its brands down to 400 (from 1,600) and is also splitting its operations into two global units, separating food and nonfood products. The company is a joint venture of Unilever PLC (UK) and Unilever N.V. (the Netherlands), which trade separately but have one board of directors.
