In 1879, George Patterson and George zochonis set up a trading post in sierra-Leone; afterward, in 1899 Paterson zochonis (PZ) opens a branch office in Nigeria. PZ cussons Nigeria is principally engaged in the manufacture, distribution and sale of a wide range products and home appliance, which are leading brand names across the country in detergent, soap, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, confectionery, refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners. The company also distributes the products of nutritional limited.

In 2011, the company recorded strong revenue growth in all its business units of personal care, home care, electronics and nutrition. In order to combat the threat facing manufacturing companies in Nigeria, PZ cussons has invested in improving its manufacturing and distribution facilities under the “project unity” program it concluded in 2010, with the upgrade of the white goods ( white goods are major household appliances) manufacturing and distribution facilities in Ilupeju, Lagos state. Also, the new detergent tower in Ikorodu, Lagos state, which was completed at the end of 2009, is now fully.

In 1920, Paterson zochonis began to trade in Cameroon. The company success was based on its intimate knowledge of the West Africa market, its network of trading contacts and the high reputation of its goods.

Although Paterson zochonis did not manufacture any of its export goods, these goods were branded with its own trademarks. One of its major export commodities was wax printed cotton fabrics. The role that Paterson zochonis played was that of a merchant converter. This means that Paterson zochonis took responsibility for acquiring supplies of grey cloth, the term for unbleached cotton fabric, and commissioning cotton printing companies to produce finished fabrics using designs produced by its own designed. The fabrics were stored and packed for export in its own warehouse.

Threats: PZ cussons is a manufacturing company, and thus is susceptible to the challenges facing the manufacturing businesses in Nigeria. These include; epileptic power supply, the country’s deficient infrastructure, credit squeeze, low purchasing power, high financing cost in the financial market among others.
