Company Overview | At Durex we've been making high quality condoms and products for lovers for more than 80 years. |
We continue to be the global market leader, manufacturing around 1 billion units a year in 17 | |
factories worldwide. Durex is just one of Reckitt Benckiser’s 19 Powerbrands. | |
General Information | Durex has over 80 years of experience of manufacturing condoms. So it’s safe |
to say that every singleone is the product of a process that’s tried and tested. | |
That starts with the bare basics. So, all our condoms use only the finest quality raw materials. | |
Then, each is tested electronically, with samples from every batch also inflated with air to test | |
their strength. | |
International standards demand that a condom can contain 18 litres of air in this ‘air burst test’. | |
A Durex condom will typically expand to hold 40 litres of air without bursting. (Just one example of us not | |
just meeting worldwide safety quality standards – but exceeding them). | |
Sample condoms are also filled with water to make sure they don’t leak. (To be on the safe side, | |
we conduct about two million of these water tests per month.) | |
All condom types are also dermatologically tested. | |
In fact, if one sample doesn’t pass any of our tests, the whole batch of up to 432,000 condoms | |
doesn't leave the factory. | |
Now, as well as pushing the boundaries of product testing, we are also constantly undertaking | |
reseach project-looking for new ways to improve our products or spotting new trends in sexual | |
behaviour that may lead to whole new product areas. | |
So…there you have it; the best processes, making the best products, backed by the smartest thinking. | |
Maybe that’s why millions of people across the world trust Durex every day. | |
Buy with confidence. When you buy from us, you are buying original Durex products. | |
Mission | Since 1929, the role of Durex in the world has been to make it a safer place for lovers. We believe |
that everyone has the right to a healthy, fulfilling sex life, where they are able to enjoy sex freely and fully. | |
We stand up for better sexual education around the world, and believe it’s key to start shaping attitudes | |
about sex early in life. We’re unwavering in our efforts to leave behind a more positive sexual legacy | |
from one generation to the next. | |
We champion sexual openness, applauding and supporting others who advocate safe sex practices, | |
because we're stronger and more effective when we work together. | |
We aim to always be there for lovers, wherever they want or need us. | |
