From the factory floors of Melbourne to the boardrooms of a global enterprise, Ansell: Portrait of an International Company chronicles the remarkable rise of one of Australia's most iconic industrial corporations. Written by Marjorie Johnston with John Wippell, this authoritative corporate history presents the full arc of Ansell's transformation from a domestic rubber goods manufacturer into a dominant force in the international personal protective equipment and healthcare markets, tracing the strategic decisions, visionary leadership, and industrial milestones that defined its trajectory. Beyond the corporate narrative, this work situates Ansell's story within the broader currents of Australian business and manufacturing history, illustrating how a homegrown enterprise navigated the pressures of globalisation, regulatory change, and market expansion. Johnston's prose is precise and well-researched, offering both the seasoned business reader and the curious general audience an intimate look at the human and institutional forces that shaped a world-class brand. For anyone with an interest in how Australian companies punched above their weight on the world stage, the full story of Ansell's ambition and endurance will leave a lasting impression.
