The former Procter & Gamble “Ivorydale” factory began creating bar soaps in 1890 and had been operating as a contract manufacturer since 2003.

According to reports from Cincinnati.com and other sources, the St. Bernard Soap Co. is closing its doors. The site, located on Spring Grove Road in Cincinnati, has a storied history in the local area and the larger personal care market in the US. The factory began crafting bar soap for Procter & Gamble in 1890. Known in P&G circles as the Ivorydale bar soap plant, it was sold by Procter & Gamble to Trillium Healthcare Products Inc. in 2003. It has served as a contract manufacturer for leading brands of soap sold in the US and Canada. The site at one point had a reported capacity of four million standard sized bars of soap a day, according to its LinkedIn page. According to local press reports, workers were informed last week that operations would cease in mid March. It is expected that all of the facility's 118 workers will lose their jobs. The news of the closing has come after an announcement last year that St Bernard planned to cut staff. The plant—which is located adjacent to current P&G facilities—had employed as many as 2000 workers.
