Unilever agrees to spend $1billion for Men's Grooming Brand Dollar Shave Club
Unilever PLC said it has agreed to buy U.S.-based men's grooming brand Dollar Shave Club.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Fortune reported citing sources that Unilever is paying $1 billion in cash for the Venice, California-based company.
Dollar Shave Club's turnover is expected to grow to over $200 million in 2016 from $152 million last year, according to a statement from Unilever on Tuesday.
Dollar Shave Club founder Michael Dublin will continue to be the chief executive of the company after the deal that is expected to close in the third quarter of 2016.
The Anglo-Dutch maker of personal care products such as Axe, Dove and Pond's, is one of the biggest companies in its sector worldwide and competes with other giants like Procter & Gamble Co. and Colgate-Palmolive Co.
LOL, I hear commercials on the radio for this all the time. How are they going to rant about "Big Razor" now?
Business as usual.
