Unilever timeline
In 1930 Margarine Unie and UK-based Lever Brothers came together to form Unilever. Our founding companies looked to the future with imagination and purpose. They understood the advantages of joining forces, of sharing resources to grow and develop. Today we have over 400 brands in 190 countries, you can discover how we got here by exploring our timeline.
