<h1>About Brasel Products</h1>
<p>During World War II, Harry Brasel saw the need for an easy economical bandaging material. <b>In 1947 he developed Bantex, a revolutionary cohesive gauze tape</b> which "sticks" only to itself, so it can hold bandages in place without sticking to skin or hair.</p>
<p>Although Harry's first idea was for bandaging, Bantex was quickly applied to <b>any application where protecting fingers and hands are important</b>. To date, there have been over a billion applications of Bantex cohesive gauze. Thousands of companies and industries use Bantex every day—manufacturing, food processing, mail sorting & handling, construction, home & garden and sports... even vets use bantex because it is non-toxic and doesn't "stick" to the animal's hair.</p>
<p>When Harry died in 1985, his daughter, <b>Melody Brasel Davoust</b>, became president of Brasel, and her husband <b>Mark Davoust</b> took over as general manager and vice president.</p>
<p>In 1998, the third generation joined the company when <b>Brian Davoust</b> began serving as the company's production manager.</p>
<p class="emphasis">Brasel Products is truly a family-run company that takes great pride in its unique product—protecting fingers and hands around the world.</p>
