Ansell + Hercules x BRBAUEN

Extreme conditions are nothing new for human beings.

Evidence shows that concern for protecting one’s body has existed for over 120,000 years.

Before, extreme conditions meant survival when dealing with rivals, predators and the weather.

Today, an extreme condition is coming face-to-face with a boiler filled with red-hot iron at a temperature of 2,000 degrees;

an extreme condition is to be suspended 100 meters in the air while repairing an electrical network;

an extreme condition is to be in a confined space 50 meters below the surface with very little oxygen and high temperatures.

Today, an extreme condition is to do all this and trust that the protective equipment will stand up to it.

For more than two decades, this has been Hercules’ purpose: to ensure that men and women challenge these limits without hesitating for their own safety.

Last March 27th marked the launch of Hercules rebrand launch — developed with Ansell+Hercules leadership in South America — focused on preparing the brand for internationalization throughout Latin America.

Full case study coming soon.
