About PolyGel
About PolyGel: PolyGel® entered the marketplace in 1999 primarily as a provider of unique gel materials for the healthcare industry. Drawing on over 25 years of gel manufacturing experience, we recognized the need to improve on the available therapies in the marketplace. To meet the demand for quality solutions, we initially focused on developing enhanced products for the medical foot care and skincare markets.
PolyGel has since expanded into a global, multi-dimensional company with three primary divisions: Retail, Private Label, and Custom Components. Each division focuses on solutions, therapies, technologies, and products that enhance one’s quality of life and support the over-arching corporate message of Improving Well-Being.
Our family of brands has grown and evolved, but PolyGel’s mission is, and always will be, firmly rooted in everyday well-being.
