Specialists in family healthcare for over 130 years
We are a small, friendly and warm company
Personal relationships form the foundation of our business. People who have strong personal values around building the right relationships will find it easy to get things done here.
Don’t expect huge resources or teams of people – we do a lot with small dedicated teams who help each other out and are willing to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in.
We are refreshingly different and quirky without the usual constraints of large corporate organisations, and we need people who can think of creative ways to achieve growth, overcome challenges and achieve business objectives.
Innovation is at the heart of what we do
Owned by global healthcare company Rohto, we specialise in improving the health and wellness of people throughout the world with effective, innovative and accessible products. Our UK site located in Scotland, is the home of the iconic Deep Heat brand. Here we develop, manufacture and market healthcare products for our UK, European, African and Middle Eastern markets.
Innovation is at the heart of what we do. Our consumer research helps drive our passion to create and develop meaningful products and solutions using the latest ingredients, packaging and technology, while being mindful of our sustainability commitments and goals. We are specialists in muscle and joint care and Rohto are world leaders in eyecare and skincare. All our products are designed so you can feel the difference when you use them.
Life is for living and our vision is to help everyone live a healthier, happier life with respect and compassion for our environment and society.
What's next for Mentholatum UK?
“After a brilliant year and we’re just finalising our strategy for the next three years. This will definitely include more focus on our Middle East markets – which are growing quickly – and growing our skincare and eye care brands.
Our Deeps trio (Deep Heat, Deep Freeze and Deep Relief) are core brands for us, and maintaining our market share whilst growing new ways of developing the brands will also be key. Our parent company – Rohto Japan – has a multitude of different brands and offering across the world, and launching and developing some of these brands within our markets will also be core within our strategy. It is an exciting time for Mentholatum UK!”
