History

In the early 1950s, the increased use of molded plastic dinnerware posed a number of problems. The Finish brand was created in 1953 by the US company Economics Laboratory. Taking advantage of research into the needs of the dairy and food industry, Eco-Lab launched two new products in the household dishwashing machine - Electrasol and Finish, a new premium product in 1953. Later, in 1969, he introduced the first biologically dusty product.

J. A. Benckiser (later Reckitt Benckiser) acquired the Consumer Products division of Eco-lab Inc. in 1987. [4] In 1995, the first two-ply powder tablet was introduced, in 1999 the red Powerball capsule, in 2008, the Finish Quantum and the first three-chamber molded capsule.
