INEOS CONSUMER BRANDS
Belstaff
One other INEOS business already well-known to consumers is iconic British fashion-label Belstaff. Emblematic of Britain’s rich motor racing and sporting heritage, the brand is best known for its waxed motorcycle jackets, worn by Lawrence of Arabia as well as Steve McQueen in The Great Escape. Synonymous with enduring style and function and with a strong racing pedigree, the brand has proven a natural fit with INEOS’s sporting elite.
INEOS Hygienics
INEOS Hygienics was created in response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. When doctors, nurses and front-line staff desperately needed hand sanitiser, INEOS built six factories each in under ten days, to produce millions of bottles to supply thousands of hospitals free of charge. With production ramped up and initial peak demand met, the obvious next step for the world’s largest manufacturer of high purity synthetic ethanol was to protect the wider public directly. As a rapidly evolving dedicated Hygiene business, INEOS now has a range of hospital grade hand gels, sanitiser sprays, wipes and dispensers available for retail sale.
