Durex Originals condoms

Durex is a world-renowned brand synonymous with sexual health and wellness. Originally founded in 1915 as the London Rubber Company by L.A. Jackson, the brand name 'Durex'—standing for Durability, Reliability, and Excellence—was officially registered in 1929. The company's British roots were firmly established in London, where it pioneered early latex manufacturing and consumer safety testing.

Over the decades, the brand evolved from a local British manufacturer into a global powerbrand. In 2010, Durex was acquired by the multinational consumer goods giant Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser), which continues to oversee its global expansion and innovation from its headquarters in Slough, United Kingdom. Today, Durex is the best-selling condom brand in the world, maintaining a significant market share across Europe, Asia, and North America.

While the brand originated in the UK, manufacturing has since shifted to specialized global production hubs to meet worldwide demand. Modern Durex products are primarily manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities located in China, Thailand, and India. Large-scale plants like those in Bangpakong, Thailand, and Qingdao, China, account for the majority of the brand's output, ensuring high-quality standards through rigorous electronic testing and innovation in materials like polyurethane.
