Sun Products was created in 2008 from the merger of Huish Detergents, originally acquired by Vestar with management in April 2007, and Unilever’s North American Fabric Care business.
The combined company is the second-largest producer of fabric care products in North America, behind Procter & Gamble. It manufactures some of the best-known brands in the fabric care industry, including All, Wisk, Surf, Snuggle and Sunlight, and also produces a line of household cleaning products under its Sun label, one of the nation's leading value brands.
In addition, Sun Products is the nation’s leading producer of private-label fabric care products and a producer of personal care products under the White Rain brand.
