Be the first person to write a business review for Unilever N.V.

It takes two parents -- one Dutch and one British -- to make one Unilever. Unilever N.V. and Unilever PLC, together with their group companies, constitute a global food, personal care, and household products powerhouse. The company's vast portfolio of products includes eleven brands that ring up more than $1 billion each annually. They include Hellmann's (mayonnaise), Knorr (soups), Lipton (tea), Dove and Lux (soaps), and Sure and Degree (antiperspirants). Unilever's consumer goods are sold in more than 170 countries. The company was the world's #1 consumer products maker until Procter & Gamble purchased Gillette in 2005. Based in England, Unilever PLC trades on the London and New York stock exchanges.

Venus Wafers hopes consumers will think its crackers are out of this world.

If you thought only Cookie Monster bought cookies in bulk, talk to the folks at Voortman Cookies. The company bakes up to 20 million cookies daily and distributes them to more than 50,000 grocery stores throughout Canada and the US. Voortman's cookies and wafers are sold in packages and from bulk display units. Voortman cookies contain no trans fatty acids (hydrogenated vegetable oils), a move made to position its cookies as being a healthier alternative to other cookie brands. An affiliated bakery, also named Voortman Cookies and operated by some of co-founder William Voortman's children, sells cookies in the southwestern US.

In the first year of business, Joseph used every spare moment to perfect his shortbread recipe, and it was time well spent. Soon, shooting parties from the local estates were making detours to Joseph's bakery.As his fame spread, and demand increased for his quality shortbread, Joseph took the first steps to expanding the business by moving to a larger shop in the Speyside village of Aberlour and investing in a horse and cart to deliver his baking further afield. With its crisply traditional red-and-black tartan packaging, Walkers Shortbread has taken Scottish shortbread from the Isles to the world. The family-run company manufactures packaged biscuits, cakes, fruitcakes, meringues, oatcakes, shortbreads, and mincemeat tarts, all sporting the Walkers brand. The company also produces cookies and biscuits under the Weight Watchers label in the UK, and organic oat biscuits for Prince Charles' Duchy of Cornwall label. Walkers' customers include food retailers and foodservice operators worldwide. They can also be ordered through the company's Web site.

After a few bites, cookie consumers are known to yell "Yohay!" instead of "Hooray!" That is, if they're eating Yohay Baking Company's products, they do. The company makes and markets packaged cookies, biscotti, wafer rolls, waffle wafers, fudge, cookie spoons, cookie straws, cookie "cigars" (for proud new daddies to pass out), and other bakery and pastry products. Its customers include foodservice operators, retail grocery stores, and individual consumers. Yohay Baking, which has been in business since 1948, is owned by president Michael Solomon.
