Control condoms

Control Brand Overview

Control is a premium brand specializing in sexual well-being products, most notably condoms and lubricants. Founded in Italy in the late 1970s, the brand established itself through a focus on quality, comfort, and sensory innovation. It has since become a leading name in the European market, particularly in Italy, Spain, and Portugal.

Origin and Manufacturing

The brand's history began under the Italian company Artsana Group, based in Grandate, Italy. Over the decades, Control expanded its reach internationally. While its heritage remains deeply rooted in Italian design and research, manufacturing is distributed across multiple high-standard facilities internationally to meet global supply needs, adhering to rigorous safety standards like the CE certification.

Ownership and Global Presence

In early 2011, Control was acquired by LifeStyles Healthcare (formerly part of the Ansell Group). LifeStyles Healthcare, headquartered in Australia and the United States, is one of the world's leading players in sexual health. The brand continues to innovate under this umbrella, maintaining its status as a major player in the sexual hygiene category while benefiting from a global distribution network.
