Crusellas & Company, Inc., based in Miami, Florida, traces its origins back to a company founded in Havana, Cuba in 1863. In that year, Juan and Jose Crusellas, two brothers from Catalonia, Spain, opened a factory which produced soap and candles. In 1897, Crusellas introduced a laundry soap using the brand name "Candado" "Jabon Candado" was to become one of the most recognized and best selling brands in Cuba up to the time of the Revolution.

Crusellas entered into a joint venture with Colgate-Palmolive in 1929. Under the terms of the agreement, Crusellas would manufacture and market the American company's products on the island. While this new arrangement resulted in the proliferation in Cuba of the new U.S. brands, Crusellas had continued success with its own product lines. "Jabon Candado" was the #1 selling laundry soap on the island.

Crusellas and Company, Inc. was nationalized by Castro’s revolutionary government in October 1960. The company proudly opened its doors in 1967 in Miami, Florida. Building on our initial success, we expanded our product line and distribution channels. Today, we continue to achieve international acclaim in the fragrance and esoteric industries.
