CR Brands keeps cleaning brands fresh by acquiring and reviving them. Banking on the idea that one company's trash is another's treasure, CR Brands bought Oxydol and BIZ detergents from Procter & Gamble (P&G) in 2000. Co-founded by former P&G managers and chemical engineers, CR Brands believes that with fresh marketing it can jump-start sales of the 70-year-old Oxydol detergent that put the "soap" in soap opera with its sponsorship of radio programs in the 1930s.
