DUREX Health Products
Although evidence of condom usage dates back to the times of Egyptian Pharaohs, modern industrial production of condoms is attributed to the London Rubber Company (LRC), founded in 1915 by LA Jackson.
In 1929, the company registered the brand name, Durex. The name was chosen to represent DUrability, REliability & EXcellence. In the 1930’s LRC manufactured the first condoms using the latest liquid latex dipping technology and in 1953 electronic testing was introduced as part of the production process, ensuring the quality of each individual condom.
The world-wide influence of AIDs & HIV throughout the 1980’s escalated the role of the condom in safe sex practices. As people became more aware of the dangers of unprotected sex, condom usage steadily increased.
Throughout the 1980’s and 90’s Durex brought new and innovative condoms to the market including; Avanti, made from a unique polyurethane material that is odorless and double the strength of natural latex; plus a host of special fit, textured, colored and flavored brands. In 1998, all medical devices, including condoms, had to carry the CE markings when sold in the EU. Durex was the first condom brand to be CE marked.
