About Plum

For more than 50 years, we have been dedicated to providing effective and user-friendly solutions for industrial hand hygiene. We have also been active in the field of first aid solutions for more than 20 years, with the aim of making the workplace environment safer with our products. Now known worldwide, we serve a wide range of users in manufacturers from all industries as well as other institutions.
The Plum name stands for reliable first aid and professional hygiene products. A wide range of eye rinses, first aid stations, adhesive plasters, burn gels, occupational health and safety creams, care creams, hand cleansers and soaps, hand sanitisers. We strive to make your workplace safer and more hygienic.
Quality and respect for the environment are a high priority. Of course, our first priority is to serve our customers and partners. Our quality assurance system is a guarantee for our customers. We are also ISO 14001 certified.
Plum A/S has recently been acquired by Lifco AB from Kiilto A/S and Plum Safety A/S has been formed. Plum Safety A/S is currently located in Assens, Denmark and Cuxhaven, Germany and has fourteen employees.
As a result of our close cooperation with dermatologists, health centres and occupational safety consultants, we have over the years created a product range that is highly effective, not least because it contains ingredients that are skin and environmentally friendly and comply with skin protection regulations.
