PPE expert Ansell has announced that it will begin accepting Kimtech (trademarked) and KleenGuard (trademarked) orders and managing customer inquiries across North America and Europe.
This marks the first significant commercial milestone following the strategic acquisition of Kimberly-Clark's Personal Protective Equipment (KCPPE) business, which owned the Kimtech and KleenGuard brands of products.
The acquisition took place in April 2024.
With the addition of Kimtech and KleenGuard to Ansell’s portfolio of brands, Ansell offers an even broader range of safety solutions to customers operating in laboratories, cleanrooms, and industrial manufacturing environments

As part of the North American and European portfolio expansion, Ansell also introduces two new capabilities: The RightCycle (trademarked) Programme and APEX (trademarked).
The RightCycle Programme is a sustainable solution for the disposal of non-hazardous personal protective equipment (PPE) waste.
APEX (trademarked) is an approach to cleanroom customer change management and contamination control.

Neil Salmon, CEO of Ansell, said: “Ansell’s strategic acquisition of Kimberly-Clark Corporation’s Personal Protective Equipment (KCPPE) business last year not only enhanced the breadth of our portfolio to include best-in-class brands like Kimtech, KleenGuard, and RightCycle, it also strengthened our ability to advise customers as they navigate an increasingly complex market landscape.
“With even more expertise in areas like materials science innovation, PPE supply chains and international safety regulations, Ansell is better positioned than ever to help customers achieve their safety goals.”
The next milestone in the transition of this business will come in June 2025, when Ansell Latin America and Asia Pacific sales teams begin accepting orders for Kimtech and KleenGuard products.
