At PZ Cussons we enjoy a rich heritage dating back over 135 years. Our story is one of strong growth, built on family values that have guided generations, as the Company has expanded around the world, to do the right thing. PZ began in Sierra Leone, West Africa, in 1884, when founders George Paterson and George Zochonis began trading commodities with the UK. Nearly a century later, in 1975, the firm they founded acquired the equally illustrious Cussons Group, creating the PZ Cussons we know today.
