MANY Malaysians will remember growing up using household products with brand names like Hazeline Snow (personal care), Planta (margarine), Lipton (tea) and Walls (ice-cream). These are just some of the many brands that have been introduced by Unilever (Malaysia) Holdings Sdn Bhd since the company began operations here (as Lever Brothers) back in the late 1940s.
The company built its first factory in 1949 in Jalan Bangsar, which was little more than a tiny, one-lane road flanked by trees and hills. The first branded product it launched here was Sunlight soap, which was used for washing clothes by hand.
