Ansell takes over Polish condom manufacturer

Glove and condom manufacturer Ansell has announced that its subsidiary Ansell Healthcare Europe has been successful in its bid for the purchase of Polish condom maker Unimil, costing Ansell PLN 121.6m, or roughly $41m.

In a statement, Ansell said it is interested in acquiring all of Unimil's shares – at the close of business on 2 February 2007 the company had approximately 83%.
According to Ansell, the acquisition of the strong Unimil brands and market shares of approximately 50% in Poland and 8% in Germany, will be a significant boost to Ansell's interests in Europe.

Ansell's global market share of the retail condom market increases to roughly 13%.
Formerly known as Pacific Dunlop Limited, Ansell bought a 75%-stake in Jissbon, a leading Chinese branded condom company, in 2006.
