Comments: The original mission at Gojo to get dirty hands clean without damaging the skin has greatly evolved over the past six decades. Today, it is a leading global producer and marketer of skin health and hygiene solutions for away-from-home settings. Its portfolio includes hand cleaning, hand washing, hand sanitizing and skin care formulas under the Gojo, Purell and Provon brand names.
The company, which is also known for dispensing technology, serves a variety of markets including automotive, education, food processing, food service, healthcare, law enforcement, manufacturing and military.
“Saving lives and making life better through well-being solutions is our purpose at Gojo,” said Joe Kanfer, Gojo chairman and CEO. “This is seen through the continuous development of market leading hand hygiene solutions sold through facilities in the US, United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico and France. It is also evident through the company’s caring and collaborative environment.”
In 2015, Gojo announced it would lease 1.3 million square feet of space in Wooster, OH, to expand manufacturing and distribution operations. The Wooster Campus was in addition to the Gojo headquarters in Akron, manufacturing and distribution center in Cuyahoga Falls, OH, and operations worldwide including those in the UK, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico and France.
Gojo introduced Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer Naturals in 2016, refreshing gel made with 93% naturally-renewable ingredients, plant-based alcohol and naturally fragranced with essential oils.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) joined hands with Gojo to launch the Clean Hands Count Campaign on World Hand Hygiene Day on May 5, 2016. This event is a national educational campaign to improve hand hygiene in healthcare settings to reduce the number of healthcare-associated infections.
As previously reported in Happi, Purell is joining Amazon’s Dash Replenishment program, which provides automat replacement of products.
