Who owns Arm & Hammer

Church & Dwight, the owner of Arm and Hammer, is a major manufacturer of American household products and markets the iconic baking soda brand. The company‘s history dates back to 1846 when it was known as the John Dwight and Company, founded by John Dwight and Austin Church. The famous Arm and Hammer logo represents Vulcan, the Roman god of fire and metalworking, and has become an institutionalized household name over the years. A successful advertising campaign in 1972 expanded the use and prominence of the product, and today, Arm and Hammer is a diversified consumer packaged goods company with a portfolio of leading household and personal care brands, generating over $2.4 billion in annual sales worldwide.
