Following up on today's global Town Hall presentation, learn more here about Ansell's successful first Capital Markets Day.

On October 23, 2017 Ansell hosted its first Capital Markets Day (CMD) at the Langham Hotel in Sydney, Australia. The forum provided attendees with greater appreciation of Ansell business fundamentals, strategic direction and growth plans.  

Five display environments highlighting Ansell's differentiated portfolio offerings, technologies and Ansell Guardian® selling solution were featured. The event included a supplemental tour of Ansell's Sri Lanka facility showcased as our largest global R&D and Manufacturing center with glove production for both Industrial and Healthcare GBUs, and home to Industrial GBU Innovation Center and Ansell Engineering facilities.

Each of Ansell's 13 ELT members presented at the Sydney event, which was attended by ~95 participants including members of Ansell's Board of Directors, ~60 external stakeholders and other key Ansell leaders. To connect with key stakeholders in Europe and Americas, a smaller Ansell team subsequently presented a condensed Capital Markets Day event in London and Toronto during November 2017.
