Levers Pacific Plantations Ltd. was a British company, incorporated by William Lever in London in 1902, as a subsidiary of Lever Brothers, which wanted to get more control over raw materials for its soap, such as copra, mainly for the Lever Brothers Factory in Sydney. The first general manager was G. Foulton, who was based in Sydney. In 1903, the British government granted the company access to copra and phosphate reserves in the Pacific.[1]
