You may have noticed in the marketplace that the look of AMMEX products has changed. We talked about it in an earlier post.
We understand that a change in packaging may be confusing. Some people have expressed concern that the change means a different glove.
There are not a lot of bargains to be had these days. But we have one you might want to check out.
Value is a difficult thing to come by in today’s disposable glove marketplace.
With nitrile and latex prices going through the roof—and lack of availability only compounding the situation—finding a “go-to” glove that you can stick with is difficult.
AMMEX disposable gloves will come in a different wrapper starting this month, but don’t fret: They will still be the same great gloves.
Those who purchase disposable gloves from AMMEX in the coming weeks may notice a new look and feel for all of our packaging. The reason for this redesign is three-fold: We are aligning our brands, simplifying packaging layouts, and making them more presentable.
Imports of disposable gloves are currently being impacted by major backups in Asia-U.S. trans-Pacific trade.
Shipping container volumes along these routes have reached their limit. Massive congestion in the California ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach is forcing ocean carriers to cancel sailings—not because of lack of demand, but because ships are stuck awaiting berths.
Synthetic hybrid gloves provide a temporary solution to the high prices and shortages of nitrile disposable gloves in the first half of 2021.
AMMEX recently solicited feedback from our customers on their impressions of our Online Ordering Portal, as well as their experiences in the current glove market.
The answers, as you might imagine, were quite varied. Ratings for the portal covered the spectrum from 1 to 10, and customers offered a variety of opinions on what it’s like to sell disposable gloves during a global pandemic. (We will go into more detail as we talk with customers and share their stories in this space over the coming weeks.)
With coronavirus infections steadily rising, 2021 is shaping up as another year of shortages for disposable gloves.
On Jan. 7, the United States reached another grim milestone in the COVID-19 saga, reporting more than 4,000 pandemic-related deaths in a single day. It was the third day in a row of record daily deaths in the U.S. from the disease, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
The new year has arrived, but conditions in the disposable glove market are pretty much the same. The best deal out there remains vinyl gloves.
2021 is in the house.
It brought with it, however, an unwelcome guest: disposable glove prices that are likely to go even higher.
With disposable glove demand and supply still tremendously out of balance, one way to meet customers’ needs is with vinyl gloves.
Since the coronavirus pandemic began its worldwide spread in early 2020, the shortage of both nitrile butadiene rubber and natural rubber latex has plagued the disposable glove industry.
Food workers need a lightweight, value-oriented disposable glove that protects against cross-contamination. Synthetic hybrid poly gloves are the right choice.
From food truck burrito makers to those who toil away on food processing assembly lines, basic glove needs are similar. Users need dependable barrier protection that is cost-efficient enough to support frequent glove changes.
Janitorial and sanitation workers are essential to protecting us from COVID-19. Protecting them is just as important. Workers in the janitorial and sanitation industry have always played a key role in protecting our quality of life. But with the current global pandemic showing no signs of dissipating, their contribution takes on a new level of importance. Sanitizing our environments matters more than ever. |
