It takes two companies to make one Unilever. Along with Unilever N.V., Unilever PLC owns Unilever. The three companies comprise the Unilever Group. Based in England, Unilever PLC trades on the London and New York stock exchanges. Its products include food, personal care products, beverages, and consumer products. The company's portfolio holds popular brand names Breyers and Magnum (ice creams), Dove and Lux (soaps), Lipton (tea), Close Up (oral care), and Vaseline.
