Unilever (c-eniconˈjuːnɨliːvər) is a British-Dutch multinational corporation that owns many of the world's consumer product brands in foods, beverages, cleaning agents and personal care products.

Unilever is a dual-listed company consisting of Unilever N.V. in Rotterdam, Netherlands and Unilever PLC in London, United Kingdom. This arrangement is similar to those of Reed Elsevier and Royal Dutch Shell prior to their unified structures. Both Unilever companies have the same directors and effectively operate as a single business. The current non-executive Chairman of Unilever N.V. and PLC is Michael Treschow while Paul Polman is Group Chief Executive.

Unilever's main international competitors include Nestlé and Procter & Gamble. They also face competition in local markets or product ranges from companies such as Beiersdorf, ConAgra, Danone, General Mills, Henkel, Mars, Inc., Pepsico, Reckitt Benckiser and S. C. Johnson & Son.

Unilever Video

www.greenpeace.org You talked to Dove now talk to Nestlé. Ask them to stop using palm oil from forest destruction. UPDATE: Thanks to the staggering public support for our international Dove campaign in April 2008, Unilever has now agreed to play their part in saving the Paradise Forests of South East Asia. As the biggest single buyer of palm oil in the world, Unilever has a special responsibility to help clean up the industry that's behind so much forest destruction. They have agreed to support the call by Greenpeace for an immediate moratorium on deforestation for palm oil plantations. They have also agreed to urgently contact other major companies calling on them to support the moratorium. This is the first success in a broader campaign to secure real change on the ground in South East Asia -- to stop the palm oil industry from destroying the Paradise Forests. Greenpeace campaigners will work with Unilever for th next six months (starting May 2008) to bring together a major coalition of companies to make the moratorium a reality. We will see at the end of this period how things are progressing and if we need to change our campaign approach. About the music: The song's called "There They Go". It was made specifically for the Greenpeace video by a Czech band called Ohm Square. www.myspace.com

High-speed ABB FlexPicker robots equipped with specially developed grippers are making sure that Peperami salamis are packaged at the highest cycle rates at Unilever's plant in Ansbach, Germany. The robots are fitted with triple grippers which are able to pick up three randomly positioned salami snacks one after the other from a conveyor belt in a one step process, and place them individually in a rollstock machine. The positioning and location data required comes from an upstream image processing system which is positioned to capture the information on the individual sausages and pass it on to a master computer. Unilever commissioned ABB Robotics partner, robomotion GmbH from Stuttgart, to plan and design the fully automated solution; and install and commission the entire system at Unilever within 10 days. "This high-speed technology is not only of interest in the foodstuffs sector, as it can be used anywhere where small items have to be handled at high speeds" says Andreas Wolf, a director of robomotion. Unilever's chief engineer, Carim Gad, concludes "With the new system, we're running the packaging machine at full capacity, giving us a performance increase of up to 25 percent compared with manual loading. The ability to cover peak loads is of particular interest. For example, in the run-up to the Football World Cup, special production shifts were operating at the weekend. This alone gave us a competitive edge, enabling us to deliver Peperamis to our customers on <b>...</b>

Iklan ini merupakan iklan dari Unilever yang menampilkan produk sabun LUX yang dibintangi bintang muda Mariana Renata. Kemunculan Mariana Renata dalam iklan ini termasuk kemunculannya pertama mewakili sabun LUX. Sebagai penguatan akan citra 'pesona bintang' dalam diri sang gadis (mariana), maka sekilas-sekilas sosok Tamara ditampilkan saat gadis LUX ini sedang melihat penampilannya di depan kaca dengan penuh kepercayaan diri. LUX yang selalu dipersepsikan audience sebagai 'sabun para bintang' dengan iklan ini berupaya bergeser secara halus dalam tagline barunya yaitu 'pancarkan bintang dalam dirimu'. Konon tagline ini dipandang banyak orang lebih mewakili LUX berhubung banyak orang belum tentu percaya apakah para bintang yang selama ini dikontrak LUX benar-benar menggunakan produk ini. Bagaimanapun LUX adalah produk sabun yang 'affordable' dengan harganya yang masih di bawah Rp. 2.000 an. Untuk melakukan download silakan mengaksesnya di : scylics.multiply.com

www.vernissage.tv | Tate Modern in London presents the latest commission in The Unilever Series, Sunflower Seeds, by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. What seems to be an ocean of sunflower seed husks, in reality is a flat landscape of over 100 million individually handmade porcelain replicas of the seed. More info vernissage.tv Ai Weiwei is one of the most popular Chinese artists of our time. For Tate Modern's The Unilever Series he has been commissioned to produce a new work. The sculptural installation titled Sunflower Seeds looks rather minimalistic at first sight. What seems to be an ocean of sunflower seed husks, is in reality a flat landscape of over 100 million individually handmade porcelain replicas of the seed. Visitors are invited to walk across the surface of the work. It's a sensory and immersive installation, which visitors can touch, walk on and listen to as the seeds shift beneath their feet. Although they look identical from a distance, every seed is different and handcrafted by skilled artisans. Sunflower Seeds is the largest work Ai Weiwei has made using porcelain, one of China's most prized exports. Previously Ai has created imitation fruit, clothes and vases. Sunflower Seeds weighs over 150 metric tons, covering 1000 square meters of the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall. Ai Weiwei was born in 1957 in Beijing, China, where he lives and works. He has exhibited internationally, including recent solo shows at Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, and Haus der Kunst, Munich. He has <b>...</b>
