If you could use a dose of good news, try this: The return of Gloveworks Orange Nitrile Gloves (product code: GWON) with Raised Diamond Texture (RDT) is revving up both glove distributors and their customers.
“We love your gloves, and our customers love your gloves,” says distributor Manny M. “We couldn’t get what we needed for a good while, so I’m glad you guys have them again.
The AMMEX Online Portal is much more than just a convenient way to order disposable gloves. It also offers resources to help you manage your business, content to engage and connect with your customers, and training materials for your team to sell more gloves.
The Sales Support page contains such valuable tools as a glove sizing chart, chemical resistance chart, glove chart and glove flyer templates, top product flyers—and in an exciting development, glove samples.
If you thought that 2022 would bring quick resolution to the worldwide supply chain disruption, you’ll want to rethink that position.
Havoc at ports is showing no signs of declining. Prices for a vast array of goods continue to rise. Any real progress will require investment, technology and a refashioning of incentives across global business. It will take more ships, additional warehouses, and an influx of truck drivers.
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.
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.
Factories have reopened and production is picking up in major manufacturing areas of Southeast Asia as COVID-19 cases have dropped in recent weeks. This has eased some of the supply-chain constraints that companies blame for lost sales.
While this does not mean that makers of disposable gloves are back to full production yet, it does hint that the industry is trending in the right direction. In Malaysia, which produces nearly 80% of the world’s disposable gloves, efforts to transition its workforce from imported foreign labor to hiring local workers and emphasizing automation are well under way.
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.
It’s being called a perfect storm. The global supply chain for a broad range of products is under unprecedented stress. Shipping congestion is both slowing down deliveries and driving up costs.
Disposable gloves are not exempt from the chaos. From labor shortages in Southeast Asia factories brought about by surges in COVID-19 cases, to scarcity of container vessels, to closed ports, to backed-up ships off the coast of California, countless products—including gloves—are not getting through.
