At Eakin Healthcare, our patient is at the heart of everything we do.
Fifty years ago, it all started with one man's mission: pharmacist Tom George Eakin.

He got to work and formulated what would become the game-changing Eakin Cohesive seal.

We've grown a lot since then, both organically and through acquisitions.
We now have a team of over 700 colleagues across three manufacturing sites and 12 sales and distribution centres.
We're making a difference in three therapeutic areas: Ostomy, Respiratory, Surgical.
We're proud to export our innovative products to over 60 countries through a network of 40 distributors plus our own offices in Japan, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
