Can Your Glove Vendor Always Deliver When Needed?

The supply chain has received a lot of attention the last few years, and for good reason. The pandemic forever changed the way people thought about where their products come from.

The outlook in 2025 is, obviously, way better than in 2020, with most everyone being up to date in their procurements. But there is always the opportunity for anything from a minor dysfunction to a major catastrophe to send everyone scurrying in search of product.

The good news? When it comes to disposable gloves, AMMEX has you covered with 98%-plus fill rates.

Workers across the industrial spectrum depend on disposable gloves to safely perform their daily tasks. They order, take delivery, and wear them on the job. Rinse and repeat. It’s commerce, the way it’s supposed to work.

Where the equation gets interesting is determining which vendors can always deliver the gloves needed, when they’re needed, at scale, without backorders or other roadblocks. That’s where fill rates come into play.

Fill rates are a key performance metric. AMMEX uses First Pass Fill Rate, which is the percentage of cases ordered that are filled the day an order is received. This means orders are not only shipped complete, but on time as well.

High fill rates indicate efficient inventory management, robust supply chains, and exceptional customer service. That’s why we check in at higher than 98% on our most popular products like Gloveworks With Raised Diamond Texture and Gloveworks Black Nitrile (GPNB)—not an insignificant number.

Why are fill rates important to you? It’s not just about a benchmark. You want a partner who delivers the product and makes it easier for you to serve your customers or properly outfit those industrial workers we mentioned earlier.

We talk about fill rates because we have the product our customers need when we need it. Says Corey Townsell, AMMEX’s vice president of sales: “We talk with customers all the time who win business by guiding their customers into the right products for the applications and jobs that meet all of their requirements.”
