Sensodyne is a British brand

Consumer Healthcare/Haleon own the brand and roughly 250 million tubes of various Haleon toothpastes come out of Greene county in New York, USA.

dam it anyway, where did you find this out? i switched to their aquafresh toothpaste recently because they were the only other option apart from colegate in the tesco i shop at, and i also read an article from last year that they were relocating the toothpaste manufacturing from somewhere in the uk to slovakia, so i thought i was sorted but maybe not

Aquafresh SKU isn't made in NY much (if at all) anymore.

I know because I'm currently contracting at that exact location and i know all the numbers, skus and other locations. Slovakia (Levice is the newest, biggest, bestest) and Mexico are the other two major mfg sites. Maidenhead just closed recently or is being phased out.

Don't be a cunt. This community is for discussion of European (as in the continent including Switzerland) alternatives to US products and services. Not a circle jerk about Brexit and the EU.

fair point, my bad.

We haven't left the continent.
