Ansell: A Global Leader in Personal Protective Equipment

Ansell has spent well over a century earning its reputation as one of the world's most trusted names in personal protective equipment. Originally founded in 1893 in Melbourne, Australia, as a rubber manufacturing enterprise, the Ansell Rubber Company took shape in 1905 under Eric Norman Ansell. What began as a focused rubber goods operation grew into a multinational safety powerhouse. Ansell changed the world of work gloves in 1946 by developing the first-ever automated dipping machine, and has since expanded to become a global leader in medical exam gloves and industrial work gloves.

Today, Ansell Limited is a publicly traded Australian company manufacturing gloves and personal protection equipment — primarily from latex and rubber — with products designed for healthcare professionals, industrial workers, and end consumers. With approximately 15,000 employees and annual revenues approaching $2 billion, the brand's global footprint is a testament to the trust professionals place in its products every day.

What Makes Ansell Stand Out

Ansell develops and delivers high-performance protective solutions, specializing in advanced PPE such as gloves, clothing, and safety gear designed for a wide range of industries — serving sectors including healthcare, industrial, and chemical environments, with a strong emphasis on safety, innovation, and performance.

Ansell's product innovation is backed by proprietary technologies. Ansell GRIP™ is a coating treatment that minimizes the force required to grip dry, oily, and wet tools or materials while reducing hand fatigue. AQUADRI™ features a composite material that wicks perspiration into its micropores and disperses heat for a drier, cooler, and more comfortable fit. These purpose-built technologies reflect the brand's commitment to pairing protection with real-world wearability.

Ansell's Core Product Categories

Ansell's catalog covers the full spectrum of hand and body protection. Their disposable gloves are a go-to choice for tasks demanding single-use hygiene and chemical resistance, while their work gloves are engineered for the demands of industrial environments — offering cut resistance, grip, and long-term durability. For broader body protection, Ansell's aprons shield workers from chemical splashes and mechanical hazards, and their coveralls deliver comprehensive head-to-toe coverage for the most demanding jobsites.

Ansell's chemical protective clothing features robust disposable and reusable suits, lab coats, and aprons engineered to shield against particulates, liquids, gases, and biological agents. Whether a worker is on the shop floor, in a laboratory, or managing hazardous materials, Ansell offers a solution calibrated to the specific risk level of the environment.

Trusted Across Industries

Equipping workers and healthcare professionals with the right protective solution is the key to reducing injuries and improving overall safety while also protecting critical products across key manufacturing industries. From automotive technicians handling fluids and chemicals to industrial workers exposed to cuts and abrasions, Ansell's product lines are engineered to meet and exceed demanding safety standards. When reliable protection matters, Ansell delivers.
