en.Wedoany.com Reported - Global Protection Corporation has established its new headquarters in Lynn, Massachusetts, within a former industrial dairy plant spanning 45,604 square feet. The renovation, led by Studio J.Jih in collaboration with architectural firm Maugel DeStefano Architects, incorporates the "playful marketing" philosophy that has defined the company since its inception. The condom manufacturer traces its origins to 1987, when Tufts University sophomore Davin Wedel promoted safe sex through a matchbox featuring the school's mascot, Jumbo the elephant—a campaign that proved effective among college students. Wedel subsequently founded Global Protection Corporation, which continues to supply condoms to Planned Parenthood and organizations in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. In addition to condoms, the company offers customizable, whimsical packaging.

Studio J.Jih founder J. Roc Jih describes the design approach as "parallel play," balancing a series of dualities: workplace necessities with the vocabulary of home and nightclub spaces; the company's roots in safe sex advocacy and queer activism with its penchant for humor; and a dialogue between openings and sheer curtains. The transformation has turned the former industrial dairy plant into the company's office, assembly, and distribution center.
