Pritt is so well-known that it has become part of everyday language. In any office or home, you can hear people say “pass me the Pritt stick”, or “have you seen the Pritt stick?”
1969 – "One Small Stick for Mankind"
Led Zeppelin started their first tour, The Beatles did their last performance, Richard Nixon became president of the USA and Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon. But more importantly 1969 was the year that Mr. Pritt was born, and the world as we know it changed forever!
The inspiration for the Pritt stick came from Dr. Wolfgang Dierichs when he saw a young women applying lipstick. Small, handy and easy to apply accurately – the concept for the Pritt stick came to life! 40 years on, Pritt has taken many forms in various sizes and colours and it still remains the No.1 market leader.
Pritt, the UK’s number one glue stick, has taken one giant step for mankind by launching a new limited edition glue stick pack, to celebrate its 40th birthday and the 40th anniversary of the moon landing.
One of the UK’s most successful and long-established brands turns 40 this month. Whether at home, at school or in the office, PRITT has revolutionised our gluing habits ever since Henkel launched the world’s first glue stick in 1969.
