Morningstar | Reliability and innovation underpin Ansell's expansion into new products and markets.
Solid returns on capital reflect the brand strength and scale advantages that protect Ansell's business with a narrow economic moat. Ansell has maintained steady growth during the past three years, largely through acquisition and new product development. Management is addressing commoditisation of the product portfolio through a strategy of continual new product development and rationalisation of noncore brands. Nonetheless, we expect mixed global economic conditions to negatively affect demand for products in the firm's industrial range. Notwithstanding a spate of acquisitions during the past two years, the company still has capacity for opportunistic, bolt-on acquisitions.Ansell, along with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the development, manufacturing and sourcing, distribution and sale of gloves and protective personal equipment in the industrial and medical gloves market, as well as the sexual wellness category worldwide. Co. operates in four main business segments: Medical, which manufactures and markets surgical and examination gloves together with a range of healthcare safety devices; Industrial, which manufactures and markets hand and body protection solutions; Single Use, which provides single use industrial application gloves; and Sexual Wellness, which manufactures, sells and markets a range of branded condoms, lubricants, devices and fragrances.
