Under new ownership, Halyard Health announced its plan to sell its surgical and infection prevention business, including surgical gowns, drapes, sterilization solutions, gloves, face masks and protective apparel to Owens & Minor in November 2017. The sale was complete in May 2018.
Formerly a part of Kimberly-Clark, Halyard makes 57,000 tons of nonwovens in Lexington, NC, at a site which was included in the K-C spinoff. While the majority of these nonwovens are consumed internally, with the exception of a few select external customers, industry estimates put the value of its nonwovens output at $135 million per year.
Since spinning off from K-C in 2014, Halyard has made an aggregate investment of $50 million to its nonwovens operations, which included the transformation of a commodity spunbond hygiene line into a world class surgical SMS line.
These investments, along with its new partnership with Owens & Minor, have allowed Halyard to leverage its collective strengths and extensive North American footprint to provide industry leading products, service and solutions while helping its customers mitigate common supply chain risks from manufacturing to the point of care.
This experience also allows for continuous new product development featuring innovations that help improve clinician comfort, efficiency and protection.
