Durex condom maker in buyout talks SSL International says it's in preliminary talks with undisclosed firm; shares surge. July 14, 2003: 8:58 AM EDT LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's SSL International PLC, maker of Durex condoms, toiletries and rubber gloves, said Monday it was in preliminary talks with a potential bidder for the company, sending its shares surging upward. SSL shares jumped 10 percent to 341-1/2 pence on news of the talks, their highest level for seven months to lift the firm's market value to £640 million, or $1.04 billion.
