Surf (known as Sunil in German-speaking countries and the Netherlands) is a brand of laundry detergent manufactured and marketed around the world by Unilever, except in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, where it is owned by Sun Products (now Henkel Corporation) since 2008.[1]
The brand was introduced in 1952 by Crosfields of Warrington, a subsidiary company of Lever Brothers in the United Kingdom. Surf was introduced in the United States in 1959 after Rinso, which had been Lever Brothers Company's lead laundry brand, had declined in sales and market share.[citation needed]
