EstéE Lauder Inc.


Estée Lauder Companies Inc. is one of the world's leading manufacturers and marketers of skin care, cosmetics, perfume and hair care products. The company began in 1946, when Joseph and Estée Lauder began producing cosmetics in New York City, New York. At first, they only had four products: an all purpose cream, a creme pack, a cleansing oil and a skin lotion. Two years later, they established their first department store account with Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. Over the next fifteen years, they expanded their range and continued to sell their products in the United States. In 1960, the company went international. It first established a presence in London, England. Their first international account was the London department store Harrods. The following year, it opened an office in Hong Kong, China. In 1964, they launched Aramis Inc., which produced fragrances and grooming products for men. In 1967, Estée Lauder was rewarded for her efforts by being named one of ten Outstanding Women in Business in the United States by business and financial editors. This was followed by a Spirit of Achievement Award from Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University in 1968. In that year, the company expanded again, opening Clinique Laboratories, Inc. Estée Lauder became the first women's cosmetic company to introduce a second line for men when, in 1976, they began a separate line of skin supplies. In 1981, the company achieved another breakthrough when their products became available in the Soviet Union. Estée Lauder now sells its products in department stores across the world, as well as having a chain of freestanding retail outlets. It employs over 20,000 people, and in 2003, its sales topped $5 billion. The company is still controlled by the Lauder family, which controls over 90% of voting shares, and Estée's grandson chairs the board of directors. In February 2004, the company's teen-oriented ''jane'' business was sold. Estée Lauder brands include:

    I just removed "Estée Lauder died April 24, 2004" because it didn't seem to belong in the article on the company, but fits better in Estée Lauder (person). No doubt her death will affect the company, but it will survive without her. I don't suppose I mind a notice like that, so long as it doesn't confuse the person with the company. -- ke4roh 00:18, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

    EstéE Lauder (Person)


    Estée Lauder (July 1, 1906 – April 24, 2004) was the founder of Estée Lauder Inc., a pioneering cosmetics company. Lauder was born Josephine Esther Mentzer in Queens, New York, USA, the daughter of Hungarian Jewish immigrants. She married Joseph Lauter in 1930, divorced him in 1939, and re-married him in 1942. The Lauter family changed their surname to "Lauder" in the late 1930s. They remained married until his death in 1982. Lauder died in her Manhattan home of cardiopulmonary failure at the age of 97. She was the only woman on ''Time'' magazine's 1998 list of the 20 most influential business geniuses of the 20th century. She was also the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

    Lauder's birthdate is in question. She was apparently born on July 1 of some year. http://www.born-today.com/Today/07-01.htm The year was probably either 1906 or 1908 because the news stories of her death say either "She was believed to be 95" http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20040425.westee0425/BNStory/Entertainment/ (AP report) http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1082925906357_4/?hub=Entertainment (CTV), or "she was 97" http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=515298 (Independent), or "her family said she was 97" http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/25/fashion/25CND-LAUD.html?ex=1083556800&en=0c3543744123a614&ei=5062&partner=GOOGLE (NYT). I'm going with 97. If that and my math is right, she was born in 1906. -- Ke4roh 03:02, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC) ---- Why was the company moved off this page? When most people think of Estee Lauder, I don't think they are thinking of the person. There's so little about the person herself that I think this easily fits into the article about her company. Ambivalenthysteria 07:44, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC) :I tend to agree, though I had a bit of a quandry last night. I think with her death, we have an opportunity to create an article on her. (Then again, the question that arises is: "Was her life significantly separate from her company?") My first thought was to make a new article called "Estée Lauder (person)", but that seemed wrong. I looked into the name of the company http://www.esteelauder.com/customerservice/corporate_info.tmpl?ngextredir=1, and decided using "Estée Lauder Inc." was preferable to an "Estée Lauder (person)" page. :As to the opportunity at hand, I have requested permission for a couple of photographs, and I wonder if someone will take an interest this week to flush out the text of the article. If not, perhaps the (person) page is the way to go. -- Ke4roh 11:53, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC) ::I think it's a hard call. With her death, I agree that there's the tempation
