About the Alexandria Plant Message from the Plant Manager Key Elements of our Vision Environmental Community Center Products About the Alexandria Plant
	Procter & Gamble-Alexandria celebrated its 30 year anniversary in 1999. The Procter & Gamble Company started construction of the plant on a 112 acre site, located approximately 8 miles north of Alexandria, in 1968. Several of the employees who helped build the plant then became part of the original 140 member production start-up team. This team shipped the first box of Alexandria Plant Tide XK to the regional mid-South market in 1969. Today, the Alexandria Plant has 230 employees. During three decades of operation, Alexandria has grown to become Procter & Gamble’s second largest detergent operations globally. Production volume increased steadily over the years reflecting the sustained growth in our detergent business, which now represents 42% of the total North American Detergent market. Today, the Alexandria plant produces and distributes Tide, Bold, Cheer, Ariel, Dreft, Gain, and Ivory Snow for 280 million consumers in North America.
	The men and women of P&G-Alexandria provide a direct economic benefit of over $45 million dollars to the local economy annually. Additionally, Procter & Gamble and its employees make more than $120,000 in contributions each year to education, health, arts, environmental and civic programs in the community. Most important, our employees donate thousands of hours of effort in support of community service organizations and programs around Cenla. P&G-Alexandria is proud to support those organizations which work to enhance the quality of life in our community. The Alexandria Plant uses proprietary processing and packaging technologies to produce a broad mix of high quality detergents that best meet the varied cleaning tasks of North American consumers. These finished detergents are then distributed through an advanced, fully automated warehouse and inventory management facility that is large enough to handle 15 million regular size boxes of detergent at one time yet flexible enough to load and unload forty trucks simultaneously.
