History

The Company's name was changed in April 2002 as a result of a strategic repositioning of the Company to concentrate on its core business, protective products and services in a broad healthcare context, and following the disposal of a series of other business units that did not fit within the strategy. The new direction now being taken by the Company leverages the solid foundation provided by the Ansell Healthcare business that has been a major part of the parent company's portfolio of businesses since it was acquired in 1969.
