Ansell to manufacture gloves at Perundurai plant for key global markets
The plant will make gloves to supply to markets such as the U.S. and the U.K.
Australian glove manufacturer Ansell plans to produce some of its premium synthetic gloves at its new plant in Perundurai, near Coimbatore, for key global markets. Chief Medical Business Officer Jennifer Ross Murphy revealed that the investment of over $60 million is strategic and focused. This project is the largest investment by Ansell in a greenfield project, she emphasized.
The plant will produce gloves for markets such as the U.S. and the U.K. Currently, the company has commissioned one production line and has begun supplying gloves to the Indian market. In total, Ansell has installed three production lines, with testing underway at the remaining two lines, with a focus on synthetic products. Production will be gradually increased.
Ansell also has production facilities in Malaysia and Sri Lanka. The Perundurai plant will start supplying to key markets by the end of the current calendar year. Raw materials for these products are sourced from Ansell's global suppliers. The plant currently provides employment to about 500 people and is committed to sustainability, recycling and reusing water, and 95% of its energy consumption comes from renewable sources.
