Author: Haleon
Haleon, the global leader in consumer health, today announced the strengthening of its self-care agenda through its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Cape Town. The site plays a pivotal role in enabling local production while ensuring access to high-quality healthcare products across the African continent.
The Cape Town facility not only supports South Africa’s healthcare needs but also exports to thirteen (13) markets, the majority of which are located across Africa. This positions the site as a hub for advancing affordable self-care solutions in the region, while contributing to economic growth and skills development through local manufacturing.
“Our Cape Town site is a key example of Haleon’s commitment to empowering people to take charge of their health,” said Farhan Haroon, Haleon South Africa General Manager “By producing locally and exporting across Africa, we are making our superior brands more accessible while supporting regional health priorities.”
Local manufacturing of consumer health products plays a critical role in strengthening Africa’s pandemic preparedness agenda. By producing essential self-care and wellness products within the continent, Haleon’s Cape Town facility helps reduce reliance on global supply chains, ensuring faster, more reliable access during times of crisis.
This not only improves resilience against future disruptions but also supports public health readiness by making trusted health solutions more accessible to communities when they are needed most.
Haleon’s purpose is to deliver better everyday health with humanity. The Cape Town manufacturing facility reflects this ambition by strengthening self-care access for millions of people across Africa.
Haleon’s self-care agenda supports healthcare on the African continent by empowering people to take charge of their everyday health while easing pressure on already stretched healthcare systems. Through trusted, affordable products manufactured locally in Cape Town and exported to 13 markets, Haleon helps improve access to quality everyday self-care solutions across Africa.
Equipped with advanced technology and stringent quality standards, the facility demonstrates Haleon’s investment in sustainable operations and innovation. By localizing production, Haleon not only ensures resilience in supply but also contributes to job creation and skills transfer within South Africa.
In addition to advancing healthcare access, the Cape Town site is also a pioneer in sustainability within Haleon’s global network. It was the first site worldwide to achieve water neutrality and the first to sustain certification to the Alliance for Water Stewardship in consecutive years, reflecting Haleon’s commitment to responsible resource management. The site also maintains zero-to-landfill status, underscoring its leadership in driving environmental stewardship alongside health impact.
As a proud sponsor of the B20, the official business engagement forum of the G20, Haleon aligns its self-care, sustainability, and local manufacturing commitments with broader global priorities of resilient healthcare, inclusive growth, and sustainable development.
The company’s participation in the B20 reflects its belief that collaboration between business and policymakers is vital to advancing health equity and ensuring that people across Africa and beyond can access the tools they need to manage their everyday health.
