Gillette
When the topic of shaving razors comes up, many people immediately think of the Gillette brand. It has been in use in a factory in Boston, Massachusetts, since the early twentieth century. It has been confirmed that a portion of the blade is made in the United States. On the other hand, the razors, cartridges, and handles are made in Brazil, China, Mexico, and Poland.

Even so, as you can see from the website, demand for these products has grown, necessitating the company’s expansion. In 1992, Gillette established a manufacturing facility in Shanghai in an attempt to meet market demands. This has allowed the company to reach a new high of one billion razors per year.
Barbie
In 1959, Ruth Handler created the first Barbie doll, marking the start of the popular doll brand’s history. These dolls are still very popular six decades after they were first introduced. Mattel, the company that owns the Barbie brand, claims to make $58 million per year in sales! As a result, on average, it sells more than 100 dolls per minute.

Mattel’s annual net revenue is estimated to be around $1.5 billion. Were you aware that no Barbie dolls were produced in the United States? The first one was established in Japan in 1959, while the country was still recovering from World War II’s effects. At the moment, there are four plants in operation around the world, in China, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
