Cruz Verde was a Spanish household brand selling a wide range of products, and even in the 2010's is a well-known brand in Spain because of the great tradition of innovation and advertising. Cruz Verde was purchased in the 1970's by the US multinational company Syntex. Ambi-Pur, which differs from other products and Cruz Verde, became a brand name, with cellulose products "constant" and aerosols, and in the late 1970's and 1980's, continued to strengthen the brand with new products and diversification of the intended use.
