Pigeon (company)
Pigeon Corporation, established in 1978, is a manufacturer of household products. In August 1978, the company pioneered a new area with the release of “Pigeon”, which was the first fabric softener product made in Korea. Since then, the company has created a new domestic market for these products through education and marketing, while maintaining its No.1 position in the fabric softener industry (more than 50% of the market share) in spite of fierce competition from large enterprises and multinational companies.
Pigeon Corporation has continued to improve its existing products and develop new ones. Through these efforts Pigeon Corporation has become the number one manufacturer of household products in the country.
