History:

The Holland-Rantos Company and all of its product lines was first sold to the Youngs Rubber Company in the 1940’s, in 1985 the HR brand was again sold to the Carter Wallace Company. Carter Wallace was sold in 1999 and HR® Lubricating Jelly ceased production soon thereafter.

After several years of research, in 2007, HR Pharmaceutical, LLC (the parent company of HR Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) was formed, and acquired the patents, trademarks, formulas and other intellectual property associated with the HR® Brand. HR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. resumed production of HR® Lubricating Jelly initially for veterinarian applications in 2009. The HR® Lubricating Jelly cherished by Medical Professionals and Consumers will be available to the U.S. market again in the fourth quarter of 2010.
