Carex is a leading hand hygiene brand that pioneered the everyday antibacterial liquid hand wash and sanitiser market in the UK over 20 years ago. The brand is deeply rooted in British manufacturing, with its core range of products, including the Original Hand Sanitiser Gel, being produced at the PZ Cussons Agecroft factory in Manchester. This facility is a hub for the brand's production and innovation, ensuring high quality and supply for the UK and international markets.
The brand is owned by PZ Cussons plc, a major British consumer goods company with a history dating back to 1884. Originally established as a trading partnership between George Paterson and George Zochonis in Sierra Leone, the company evolved and expanded significantly over the decades. It acquired the Cussons Group in 1975, which eventually led to the development of the Carex brand. Today, PZ Cussons remains headquartered in Manchester and is publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange, maintaining its status as the ultimate owner of the Carex brand into 2026 and beyond.
