Antec International
Antec International was formerly one of the world's largest biosecurity companies, specialising in production of disinfectants and cleansing agents. It played a minor but important role in controlling the 2001 UK foot and mouth crisis.
The company was acquired by DuPont in late 2003 and since then has operated as a subsidiary of DuPont. As of 2006 many of Antec's products, such as Virkon, have been undergoing a slow process of rebranding.
