Global Protection Corp.® Moves Headquarters to Lynn, MA, Officially the Condom Capital of the U.S.

Global Protection continues its legacy of sexual health innovation with expanded space and community partnerships

LYNN, Mass. — Global Protection Corp.®, a pioneering force in sexual health and innovation, proudly announces its new headquarters in Lynn, Massachusetts. After decades in Boston’s booming Seaport District, Global Protection has moved its operations to the iconic former West Lynn Creamery building.

This move reflects both Global Protection’s ongoing growth and its commitment to supporting Lynn’s renaissance. Once known as the “Shoe Capital of the World,” Lynn is now recognized as the "Condom Capital of the U.S.," with more condoms shipped in and out of the city than any other nationwide. This year over 250 million condoms will ship through Global Protection Corp.®’s Lynn headquarters.

“We stay committed to innovation, building connections, and leading the sexual health industry forward,” said Davin Wedel, Founder and CEO of Global Protection Corp.® “When we moved from Wilmington to Boston’s Seaport in 1996, we were part of a movement that transformed an industrial neighborhood into a thriving innovation hub. Today, we see the same opportunity in Lynn, a city with a rich history of manufacturing, now buzzing with creativity and revitalization.”

The new 65,000 square-foot space offers expanded manufacturing, fulfillment, and office capacity, allowing Global Protection to continue developing groundbreaking products. 

But the Lynn headquarters is about more than just production. Reflecting Global Protection’s longstanding support for art and community, Global Protection commissioned a striking building mural by Dutch artist Mr. June, curated in partnership with Lynn-based arts nonprofit Beyond Walls.

"Art and design have always been central to our DNA, from our artistic ONE® Condom wrappers to our packaging and safer sex advocacy programs – and this space is the ultimate expression of that. We wanted to create an environment where art and intentional design seamlessly intersect, transforming our everyday workspace into an inspiring visual experience. Seeing this dream come true is an incredible milestone for all of us at Global Protection Corp.®," said Davin Wedel.

Inside the office, a display of West Lynn Creamery artifacts and a wall mural featuring a dairy cow nods to the building’s iconic history. Additional wall murals around the office are a reflection of the company’s dedication to intentional design.

The reimagined creamery blends industrial heritage with bold, modern design—a perfect symbol of Global Protection’s belief that efficiency, creativity, and artistry can coexist in business. Maugel DeStefano Architects served as the architect of record, designing the new office, assembly, and distribution headquarters for Global Protection Corp.®. Studio J.Jih, led by J. Roc Jih, served as the consultant architect, designing the office interiors and workplace environment, complementing the building's overall architectural design.

“Architecturally, the project is about elevating the everyday. We worked with the existing industrial shell to create a space that feels both grounded and forward-looking—preserving the building’s utilitarian character while introducing light and new spatial hierarchies. The monochromatic exterior asserts a civic presence while the interior opens into a series of bright, adaptive environments that support both focused work and collective engagement. At every level, the design aims to express Global Protection Corp.’s values—direct, public-facing, and deeply intentional.” - Riaan Kotze, RA, architect at Maugel DeStefano Architects, Architect of Record.

“We often see a highly renovated office that is full of design elements referencing the domestic environment, which is often in opposition to adaptability over time. For this project, our strategy became all about diaphanous surfaces that can fit the commercial office in scale, but provide a sense of domesticity through a material softness that scatters and moderates light for the work environment. In an incidental, tongue-in-cheek way, the ‘filters’ make reference to the product itself, but it’s really a way of thinking about a condition of translucency overlaid with veils of privacy in the workplace, and how to design for the different types of privacy and collaboration that might be required among co-workers." - J. Roc Jih, Studio J.Jih
