TORONTO, April 8, 2016 /CNW/ - Henkel Canada is making a big splash in the Canadian laundry care market with the launch of its global flagship premium brand Persil. Henkel introduces five powerful stain-fighting formulas to Canada under the Persil ProClean banner led by its 2in1 formula which received the highest laundry detergent rating in recent rankings by a leading North American consumer testing publication. As part of the launch, Persil also created a new energy-efficient cold-water formula developed specifically for Canadian consumers. During its first month in Canada, more than 2 million wash loads of Persil ProClean laundry detergent were sold.
"We are proud that Canadians will finally have access to the high quality and performance of Persil detergent – a trusted favourite of European consumers for many years," says Peter Guenther, President of Henkel Canada. "Persil is known around the world for delivering a premium, fiber-deep clean with exceptional whiteness, stain-removal and freshness. Canadians can now benefit from Persil's advanced detergent technology to get premium laundry results at home."
A globally renowned brand, Persil brings more than 100 years of product innovation to Canada – it was the first laundry brand in the world to launch a self-acting formula (1907), a phosphate-free detergent (1986), a liquid detergent (1987) and a concentrated powder detergent (1994). Persil ProClean is the only laundry detergent containing Pro-PowerTM Technology for a premium clean with exceptional stain-fighting capabilities. Persil's state-of-the-art formulas feature a powerful five-enzyme combination to help eliminate even the toughest stains, delivering exceptional cleanliness and freshness.
"Henkel's approach to laundry care is highly scientific," says Tasha Zander, PhD & Principal Scientist at Henkel. "Our research and development team conducted more than 10,000 stain evaluations with Persil ProClean detergent prior to the launch to ensure each product fits the market's needs perfectly." As a result of this process, Henkel's research and development team made custom adjustments to Persil's international formulas to better suit the stain challenges faced in North America. Persil also developed a new cold-water formula to meet the demands of Canadian consumers.
