Dutch Dipping

BRIEF HISTORY OF LATEX ENGINEERING B.V.

A little over 40 years ago Mr. Henri Collard, a well-known engineer living in Utrecht, Holland, made his first Latex Dipping Plant.

During the period of reconstruction following the war, Mr. Collard was re-establishing his engineering business and was asked by a European latex products producer if he could design and manufacture a dipping plant for balloons.

This first plant was a relatively simple batch dipping plant, which proved to be very successful. The customer was very pleased and this contact gave an insight into the industry and led to further contracts.

The company Latex Engineering B.V. was formed and continued to produce plants for the Latex Industry, almost always designed to the specific requirements of each customer and increasingly incorporating original design features from the fertile mind of Mr. Collard.

It was not too long before Latex Engineering became very well known in the industry, supplying plants to USA, Mexico and South America as well as the Middle East and South East Asia.

We were one of the first companies to design and manufacture continuous chain dipping plants, which revolutionised the production of products such as Examination Gloves, Surgeons Gloves, Condoms and Balloons.

Latex Engineering manufactured plants on the continuous chain basis for all these products and saw them installed all over the world.
