US first aid company
Pac-Kit Safety Equipment Company has roots dating back to 1880 when Silas Burroughs, a former representative of the US pharmaceutical company John Wyeth & Co, and his business associate Henry Wellcome formed Burroughs Wellcome & Co in the UK. The two started manufacturing compressed pharmaceuticals, a novelty in those days and much safer than medicines prepared by pestle and mortar. The business thrived, and thanks to the cooperation with many explorers from the late 19th and early 20th century, Burroughs Wellcome gained fame around the world.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
