Ultrex

Ultrex

Background:

 

In 2015, the management of Productos Químicos Panamericanos – PQP, changed command as part of a generational change process in which, among other strategic bets, it began to restructure its brands portfolio. That year they invited us to be part of this process that began with a focus on Ultrex, their brand of powdered detergent.

Until 2015, Ultrex was a multi-use, low-cost brand, distributed mainly in market places and supply stores for the institutional channel, with the promise of being “the multi-purpose, economical and ultra-high-performance detergent”

Challenge:

 

How to turn a cheap multi-use detergent brand into a true alternative for the care of clothes for the whole family?

Solution:

 

Listening to the housewives, we understood that clean clothes are synonymous with love and care for the family, which is why the reformulation of the product had to include attributes of softness and care of the garments (Fibraprotec), aroma, care for the family (antibacterial) and care for the environment (biodegradable)

      • Biodegradable and environmentally friendly raw materials and components
