STRIDEX

Blistex was founded in 1947 as a small, family-run business that develops and markets lip care products, primarily in the United States. Our goals in those days were to create high quality products, achieve consistent growth, and become an innovative leader in lip care. The pursuit of quality and customer service led us in 1967 to establish our own research and development facilities, as well as to build our manufacturing complex and corporate headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois. This step enabled us to precisely control every stage of our business from product formulation and testing to manufacturing and marketing. Over the years, continued growth has been driven by continuous innovation in the Blistex product line. New products were added and existing ones improved as Blistex moved into the lip care and healthcare markets around the world. Today, the Blistex tradition is continued by the second generation of our founding family. We still believe in our original goals. Product quality. growth. Cooperat. and driving. Some things don't have to change. Blistex manufactures, tests and distributes a full line of high quality lip care products,
