PermaNet
Vestergaard
Solution Overview & Benefits
PermaNet® long-lasting insecticidal bed nets (LLIN) play a critical role in the fight against malaria. Vector control tools are the main way to prevent and reduce malaria transmission, a disease that kills over 400,000 people a year.
Recommended by the World Health Organization, PermaNet® LLINs last for a minimum of 3 years and require no re-treatment or dipping.
PermaNet® 2.0 remains the most widely tested LLIN and is pre-treated with deltamethrin.
PermaNet® 3.0 utilizes a combination of pyrethroid insecticide and piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and was deployed as the first PBO LLIN on the market designed to fight insecticide resistance.
More than 800 million PermaNet® bed nets have been produced since 2002, protecting over an estimated 1.6 billion people.
History & Development
Vestergaard Frandsen was still a small sewing operation in Denmark when Mikkel began working with the family business in the early ‘90s. Under Mikkel’s leadership, the company shifted its focus from textiles to innovation for disease and grew into a successful and impactful private organisation focused on improving global health outcomes. The company believes that a focus on humanitarian impact is not a cost to the company but rather a driver of revenues. It is one that can be measured both in the bottom line and in its work, setting a gold standard as a social good company.
