History[edit | edit source]

Ansell was founded in 1905 by Eric Norman Ansell in Melbourne, Australia. Initially, the company focused on the production of condoms and other rubber products. Over the years, Ansell expanded its product line to include a wide range of protective gloves and clothing, catering to various industries such as healthcare, automotive, and food processing.

In the 1990s, Ansell underwent significant restructuring, focusing on its core business of protective solutions. This led to the divestment of non-core businesses and a series of strategic acquisitions to strengthen its market position.
