Profile
ILC Dover is a Frederica, Delaware company founded in 1947 that makes protective and life sciences products. Its Chemturion suit is a positive-pressure, fully encapsulating chemical and biological protective suit used in high containment laboratories and hazardous environments, and it evolved from ILC's US Army suit for chemical weapons demilitarisation.
More profile
Ingersoll Rand agreed to acquire ILC Dover in March 2024 for about 2.3 billion dollars from New Mountain Capital, and the sale closed on 3 June 2024, so the 2021 date that appears in some listings is wrong. The company's biopharma flexible containment products make up much of its business, and protective suits are one line within it.
