In countries in Asia, Eastern Europe and South America, professional and institutional purchasers can start to purchase a broad range of SC Johnson’s market leading consumer products direct.

“We are excited by the prospect of directly representing our highly relevant brands in the professional, office, healthcare and institutional markets,” says Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO of SC Johnson. “Our purchase of the Deb Group in 2015 positions us for growth in these categories and will help us as we market a new line of professional products.
