P&G established its footprint in East Africa in 1992 after acquiring the Richardson Vicks Company. In 2016, P&G opened a commercial office in Ethiopia to better serve the needs of the growing Ethiopian market. Today, P&G employs over 60 people in Ethiopia directly, and through our distributor, Mullege.
