Durex condoms and lubricants

Durex is one of the world's leading brands in sexual wellbeing, boasting a history that dates back nearly a century. The brand's journey began in London under the London Rubber Company, where it focused on manufacturing high-quality latex products. Over the decades, Durex has innovated extensively, introducing the first lubricant-coated condom and the first non-latex condom, establishing its reputation as a pioneer in the industry.

Today, the manufacturing of Durex products is a global operation. While it started in the United Kingdom, production now takes place in several strategic locations worldwide, including major facilities in Thailand, India, and China to meet international demand efficiently. The brand maintains rigorous quality standards regardless of the manufacturing site to ensure safety and reliability.

Ownership of Durex has changed hands through corporate mergers and acquisitions. For many years, it was a flagship brand of SSL International. In 2010, SSL International was acquired by the British multinational consumer goods company Reckitt Benckiser (now known as Reckitt). As of 2026, Reckitt continues to be the ultimate owner, managing Durex within its health and hygiene portfolio alongside other prominent global household brands.
