Compliance is not a flashy topic in the realm of disposable gloves.
Despite its lofty position as one of four pillars in AMMEX’s core capabilities—along with fill rates, quality control, and customer service—it may not enjoy the buzz that surrounds the other three.
Janitorial & sanitation businesses need predictability and consistency. No one likes surprises, especially when it comes to their hand protection.
Those “bargain” disposable gloves that promised savings of a couple bucks per box? Maybe they hold up OK with light-duty tasks. But maybe they don’t—and workers ended up with glove after glove ripping, or leaking when working with cleaning solutions, or shredding when even the slightest resistance is met.
Color is important in any discussion of disposable gloves, even if there are no industry standards for different colors of gloves. What makes it important is what you and your company do with it: Creating a color-coding scheme can prove beneficial in a variety of ways, from hygiene to general organization.
Thirty-five years ago, when AMMEX was just getting started, industrial gloves came in essentially two variations: ivory or off-white for latex, and for vinyl and poly, opaque or transparent.

In a unique way, the disposable glove market continues to work through an interesting set of circumstances initiated by the pandemic. The devil is always in the details and involves looking at operational factors beyond simple price comparisons.
How much does customer service matter in the disposable glove industry?
To be honest, some folks likely don’t rate it as a prerequisite to doing business. Disposable gloves are a commodity operating in what can be a purely transactional universe. How much for the gloves? Great. Here’s your money. Next?
In today’s marketplace, measuring the quality of products is inescapable.
Buy something online? Oh, look—you got a survey email. Send in a product registration card? You, too, are the lucky recipient of a survey. Go to your doctor? A survey is not uncommon. Simply have lunch at your favorite fast-food establishment? Guess what—they want your opinion too.
You probably hear the word “sustainability” a lot these days. That’s a good thing: Sustainability is about creating an equilibrium where we live within the limits of what Earth can provide, to ensure a balanced and healthy planet.

Throughout 2023, due to higher interest rates in the United States, the U.S. dollar exchange rate has been strong when compared with Asian currencies—and that helped to keep glove prices lower. The dollar exchange rates are now off their highs, which will erode the buying power of U.S. buyers.
This is all the more reason to order early and fill your inventory before outside factors complicate the market. AMMEX boasts a 98%-plus fill rate on its top products, so you stand to take advantage of an excellent opportunity.
