Head Office
in Prague

We exist since 1837

Procter & Gamble was founded in 1837 by the candle maker William Procter and soap maker James Gamble in Ohio. Less than 40 years later, in 1875, František Otta opens his first soap factory in Rakovník - the predecessor of today's Rakona. These three men also have in common a similar recipe for successful business: to behave honestly and compete against the competition, above all, with top quality products and the lowest manufacturing costs.

Rakona Manufacturing Plant

The Rakona Plant focuses mainly on manufacturing and designing new technologies for automated production lines. The plant is one of the most strategic in the world, resulting in a multiple increase in capacity. Thanks to strong technical know-how, a technology center has been set up to develop new technology solutions for businesses around the world.

Our products are used daily by more than 5 billion people

P & G is the world's largest and most profitable FMCG company with a turnover of $ 84 billion. Today, our products are used by more than 5 billion people from 180 countries every day. Why? Because we have best in class technology development and we are constantly innovating products. Such results can never be achieved without great employees, so we are constantly striving to attract and retain the best talents in the world.

Head Office in Prague

Head office in Prague ensures that our products get out of our factories to retail shelves and to our customers´ homes. Sales department is the most represented here - it works directly with retailers, but we have also logistics, that includes among other things transport, warehousing and customer logistics. In addition to Sales and Logistics, support departments such as Finance and HR work closely with the Sales team.

In addition to Key Account Management, Sales also includes a part of Trade Marketing, Shopper Based Design, and Market Strategy and Planning department.

As an Intern / Trainee I will copy materials, rewrite tables and make coffee.

No

Definitely not! Internships and Traineeships are the shortest way to permanent managerial positions (typically after 6-9 months you will get to Jr. Manager). We trust our selected Interns and Trainees so much that they are responsible for their own projects from the very first day and have an impact on the company's real financial results right away - all of course with the support of experienced managers.
