Sempermed To Become HARPS Group
Clearwater, FL December 8, 2023 – HARPS Global revealed the new visual identity of the Sempermed brands at the Medica trade fair in Düsseldorf, Germany last month. For over 100 years, Sempermed has built a strong legacy within the glove industry. The new brand identity carries forward this rich heritage while modernizing and setting the tone for future market ventures in a global marketplace. The re-branding initiative is part of Sempermed’s broader strategy to enhance its market presence, reinforce its position as a leader in the disposable glove industry, and establish a strong base for future expansions beyond gloves.
Sempermed is proud to unveil the new logo, emphasizing the word “semper”, meaning “always” in Latin, reflecting our long-term focus on quality, reliability, and customer service, as well as a renewed dedication to excellence. The new, progressive logo is inspired by the infinity symbol representing our limitless purposeful creativity in exploring and developing unique solutions for our customers. The redesigned visual identity showcases a vibrant blue-green color scheme, representing the company's strong commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility through eco-friendly manufacturing practices and innovations. A striking gold accent has been incorporated, symbolizing our gold standards for excellence and the strong affiliation with our esteemed parent company, HARPS. By adopting this color scheme, Sempermed aims to convey its dedication to a greener future and its alignment with the sustainability goals of its parent company.
This bold change is much more than a logo tweak; it is a conscious departure that reinforces the company’s uniqueness, ambitions, and focus on its core values. It is a change that comes with a promise to offer best-in-class products to our customers and stay at the forefront of innovation. To deliver on that promise, starting early next year, most Sempermed examination gloves will be marketed with an AQL of 1.0. Finally, with the combined research and development expertise of HARPS and Sempermed, customers can expect a renewed focus on innovation, including the launch of six new gloves in coming months, with more to come. In less than 100 days of combined operations and rebranding, HARPS and Sempermed have proven that they are stronger together and here to stay. The new logo and visual identity will be gradually implemented across all company communications, marketing materials, and product packaging.

KIMBERLY CLARK HEALTHCARE TO BECOME HALYARD HEALTHCARE
Dear Valued Customer,
I am excited to share with you some key milestones along the path toward forming our new healthcare
company. Our new company name, which will take effect when we separate from Kimberly-Clark, is
Halyard Health. Halyard is a nautical term that refers to the line that raises the sails of a ship as it
embarks on a voyage.
In addition, we’ve announced the location of our new global headquarters, which will be in Alpharetta,
Georgia. We’re pleased at our progress toward becoming an independent company focused on
advancing the health of patients and the healthcare industry by delivering clinically-superior solutions
for preventing infection, eliminating pain and speeding recovery.
Until the spin-off occurs, which is expected sometime late in the third quarter or early in the fourth
quarter, it remains business as usual. Our teams are focused on providing the same high quality,
market-leading products, and the dedicated service and support you’ve come to expect from us over
the years as your trusted partner. You can expect more detailed information about how this impacts
you in the third quarter of this year.
Be assured we will continue to provide you with updates as we move forward on this exciting journey.
In the meantime, don’t hesitate to email any questions to KimberlyClarkHealthCareSpinOff@kcc.com.
Sincerely,
Chris Lowery
Future Chief Operating Officer, Halyard Health
