Mates was launched back in the mid-Eighties by Richard Branson, who saw the need for a condom brand with more personality. Now owned by global latex manufacturer Ansell Ltd, the brand has continued to grow, while forging a brand identity that young people feel comfortable with.

Quality is one of those words that all manufacturers love to band around when they’re talking about their products. Of course, we’re no exception. And with a product like condoms, quality is everything. That’s why all Mates condoms carry the BSI Kitemark and European CE mark. These may not sound like the most exciting things in the world, but they show our commitment to quality.
