History[edit | edit source]

Blendax was established in 1931 by Karl August Lingner, who was also known for founding the Odol brand. The company initially focused on producing toothpaste but later expanded its product line to include mouthwash, toothbrushes, and other dental care items. Blendax quickly gained popularity due to its effective formulations and innovative marketing strategies.

In the 1980s, Blendax was acquired by the multinational corporation Procter & Gamble, which helped to further expand its reach and product offerings. Under Procter & Gamble's ownership, Blendax continued to thrive and maintained a strong presence in the European market.
