In the summer of 1888, visitors to the Kolkata harbour noticed crates full of
Sunlight soap bars, embossed with the words "Made in England by Lever
Brothers". With it, began an era of marketing branded Fast Moving
Consumer Goods (FMCG).
Soon after followed Lifebuoy in 1895 and other famous brands like Pears,
Lux and Vim. Vanaspati was launched in 1918 and the famous Dalda brand
came to the market in 1937.
Pond's (India) Limited had been present in India since 1947. It joined the
Unilever fold through an international acquisition of Chesebrough Pond's USA
in 1986.
Since the very early years, HLL has vigorously responded to the stimulus of
economic growth. The growth process has been accompanied by judicious
diversification, always in line with Indian opinions and aspirations.
HLL formed a 50:50 joint venture with the US-based Kimberly Clark
Corporation in 1994, Kimberly-Clark Lever Ltd, which markets Huggies
Diapers and Kotex Sanitary Pads. HLL has also set up a subsidiary in Nepal,
Nepal Lever Limited (NLL), and its factory represents the largest
manufacturing investment in the Himalayan kingdom. The NLL factory
manufactures HLL's products like Soaps, Detergents and Personal Products
both for the domestic market and exports to India.
The 1990s also witnessed a string of crucial mergers, acquisitions and
alliances on the Foods and Beverages front. In 1992, the erstwhile Brooke
Bond acquired Kothari General Foods, with significant interests in Instant
Coffee. In 1993, it acquired the Kissan business from the UB Group and the
Dollops Icecream business from Cadbury India.
Finally, BBLIL merged with HLL, with effect from January 1, 1996. The
internal restructuring culminated in the merger of Pond's (India) Limited
(PIL) with HLL in 1998. The two companies had significant overlaps in
Personal Products, Speciality Chemicals and Exports businesses, besides a
common distribution system since 1993 for Personal Products. The two also
had a common management pool and a technology base. The amalgamation
was done to ensure for the Group, benefits from scale economies both in
domestic and export markets and enable it to fund investments required for
aggressively building new categories.
HLL is also one of the country's largest exporters; it has been recognised as
a Golden Super Star Trading House by the Government of India.
The mission that inspires HLL's 36,000 employees, including over 1,350
managers, is to "add vitality to life." HLL meets everyday needs for nutrition,
hygiene, and personal care with brands that help people feel good, look good
and get more out of life. It is a mission HLL shares with its parent company,
Unilever, which holds 51.55% of the equity. The rest of the shareholding is
distributed among 380,000 individual shareholders and financial institutions.
HLL's brands - like Lifebuoy, Lux, Surf Excel, Rin, Wheel, Fair & Lovely,
Pond's, Sunsilk, Clinic, Pepsodent, Close-up, Lakme, Brooke Bond, Kissan,
Knorr-Annapurna, Kwality Wall's – are household names across the country
and span many categories - soaps, detergents, personal products, tea,
coffee, branded staples, ice cream and culinary products. They are
manufactured in close to 80 factories. The operations involve over 2,000
suppliers and associates. HLL's distribution network, comprising about 7,000
redistribution stockists, directly covers the entire urban population, and
about 250 million rural consumers.
Over the last three years the company has embarked on an ambitious
programme, Shakti. Through Shakti, HLL is creating micro-enterprise
opportunities for rural women, thereby improving their livelihood and the
standard of living in rural communities. Shakti also includes health and
hygiene education through the Shakti Vani Programme, and creating access
to relevant information through the iShakti community portal. The
programme now covers about 50,000 villages in 12 states. HLL's vision is to
take this programme to 100,000 villages impacting the lives of over a 100
million rural Indians.
Board
At the apex is the Board, headed by the Chairman, and comprising 5 whole
time Directors and 5 independent non-executive Directors. The day to day
operations are supervised by the National Management comprising the Vice
Chairman, Managing Director (HPC), Managing Director (Foods) and the
Finance Director.
Divisions
Each division is self-sufficient with dedicated resources and assets in sales,
marketing, commercial, and manufacturing. The two divisions are further
reorganised into categories.
For managing sales operations, HLL divides the country into four regions,
with regional branches in Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Mumbai. Headed by a
Regional Manager, they comprise Regional Sales Managers and Area Sales
Managers, assisted by dedicated field forces, comprising Sales Officers and
Territory Sales Incharges.
Central functions
HLL believes that while it leverages the scale of a large corporate, it must
also retain the soul of a small company. Its organisation structure, which has
and will continue to evolve with time, is aimed at achieving this knitting.
