History
Devro was founded as a new business of Johnson & Johnson in 1960 after its researchers developed a material suitable for the manufacture of sausage casings from collagen. The business name was devised as an acronym of "Development and Research Organisation", the Johnson & Johnson unit from which it emerged.[4]
The firm was subject to a £108 million management buyout
