Happy New Year, AMMEX partners!
Are you ready for 2022? Is your disposable glove lineup positioned for the new year?
Let’s face it: The last 21 months have not been easy. For those who sell disposable gloves, there has been a special set of challenges. Have you needed heavier nitrile gloves to satisfy your customers, only to be told again and again that they were on backorder?
Are you ready to start 2022 with a blast of energy delivered by a dynamite suite of products? Are you prepared for higher revenues and more profit from your disposable glove catalog?
We are excited to let you know that the Gloveworks Raised Diamond Texture Suite is returning to regular inventory. Frankly, we can’t think of a better way to start the new year.
While orange and green are popular colors for nitrile disposable gloves—especially when they feature Raised Diamond Texture—AMMEX has over the last decade-plus sold more black than any other color.
Why? Because there is something universally appealing about black gloves. From an aesthetic point of view, they convey a sense of authority, that the wearer means business. On a practical level, they conceal grease, grime, and dirt to maintain a professional appearance. And if we’re talking about fashion sense, well, nothing says cool like basic black.
One of the strongest foundations of any working relationship with AMMEX has always been our superior sales support.
There are plenty of companies from which distributors can buy disposable gloves. But none of them have the kind of sales tools—or the one-to-one relationships with sales reps—that AMMEX delivers.
When it comes to disposable gloves, it’s hard to beat nitrile. The versatile material is widely beloved by end-users who want strong, dependable barrier protection.
When it comes to nitrile, it’s hard to beat Gloveworks Industrial Black Nitrile Gloves (GPNB). These gloves are designed for professionals, manufactured for strength and durability.
The disposable glove market has seen a shortage of thicker products ever since the emergence of COVID-19. In order to meet astronomically higher demand for nitrile, manufacturers were forced to produce more gloves at thinner measurements (and in smaller sizes).
Some of our most popular gloves—especially the Raised Diamond Texture suite, 8-mil orange and green, and 6-mil black and royal blue nitrile—have been in extremely short supply for the better part of two years.
How is your glove business holding up? Are you concerned about what’s ahead for the rest of the year?
For the first three quarters of 2021, the U.S. economy expanded at a torrid pace, as industries that were shut down during the pandemic—especially restaurants, hospitality, and travel—reopened. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development projected that the U.S. economy will experience 6% overall growth in 2021, putting it substantially ahead of where it was in late 2020.
AMMEX has made a number of improvements to the online portal to enable our distributors with a set of new sales tools. We listened to you and made changes based on your input. We also incorporated industry best practices for UX/UI and the online behavior of our customers.
One of the helpful new features is Your Product Toolkit, a subsection (along with Manage Your Business) of the AMMEX Partner Business Center. It can help you gain product expertise with information tools, media assets, guides, and much more.
It’s actually a fairly common issue. Vinyl gloves, often chosen for jan/san applications because they are priced right for frequent glove changes, are great for light-duty use. But sometimes you need a stronger, more durable glove with excellent fit that can be worn for longer periods.
If your food service customers are looking for a disposable glove that can help maintain a high degree of hygiene at an attractive price point, look no further than X3 Industrial Clear Stretch Hybrid Poly Gloves (product code: TEX3).
Disposable gloves are more important than ever in the restaurant industry, with the Delta variant of the coronavirus still spreading in many areas. Restaurants are also looking to keep operating costs down, and distributors who can deliver value-oriented, effective products will have an upper hand in growing their customer base.
