Description
Heritage & Origins The company’s roots trace back to McLeod Brothers, established in 1869 in Dunedin, New Zealand, where it became a prominent manufacturer of soap and candles for over a century. McLeod Bros gained renown for products like Laundrine soap, cementing their place in New Zealand’s early manufacturing history. The business changed hands in 1969, and through various transitions, evolved into today’s operation.
Modern Evolution: The Soap Factory Ltd In 1992, The Soap Factory Ltd was established, carrying forward the craftsmanship and reputation of McLeod’s Soaps. Today, it is recognized as New Zealand’s leading contract manufacturer of premium, triple-milled solid bar soaps, earning the moniker “the name behind the names” in private label production.
