History

Kutol (pronounced cut-all) began business as a manufacturer of wallpaper cleaner.[1] This pliable, putty-like flour-based material was the foundation for Play-Doh, created in 1955.[2] In 1956, the Rainbow Crafts Company was created to make and sell Play-Doh,[3] and Kutol continued to focus on its core business of powdered hand cleaners. Since that time Kutol has transitioned to focus on liquid and foaming hand soaps.

Family owned and operated for over 70 years, Kutol is currently managed by two third-generation brothers. In 2011, Kutol built a LEED Silver-certified manufacturing facility in Sharonville, Ohio.[4] Today Kutol manufactures hygiene products for industries including education, healthcare, food service, industrial, hospitality and transportation.
