For over 50 years the Alberto Culver Company has competed successfully in
the personal care arena with some of the largest companies of the world and
has kept pace with the service needs of some of the largest retailers in the
world. We have grown from a one–product company – a product that was
originally sold only on the West Coast – to an entrepreneurial global
company that has created some of the fastest growing brands in our
categories. We have been an innovator in product, in advertising and
marketing and in cultural programs that motivate and strengthen a workplace.
We have seen the value of the company, as measured by its stock price, grow
consistently and dramatically. Consistency has also been reflected in the
way we have always operated from a core foundation of values and ethics.
Alberto Culver became a public company in 1961 and has been listed on the
New York Stock Exchange since 1965. Despite competition from huge rivals
like Procter & Gamble and Unilever, the company has regularly posted record
sales and record earnings years throughout its history.
All of this has been accomplished because everyone who is a part of Alberto
Culver from the boardroom to the factory floor – understands that all our
success flows from the successful nurture of two assets: Brands. People. |
