As 2024 winds down, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to establish consistent and predictable supply—especially at volume—while keeping costs in check. Along with reliable supply, the benchmarks of quality, compliance, and sustainability continue to become more important in the disposable glove market.
AMMEX maintains 98%-plus fill rates, high levels of personalized service, and top-tier quality, compliance, and sustainability standards. Our outstanding fill rates enable our customers to consistently maintain flexibility and reduce costs. This is especially important at a time when everyone is under pressure to optimize inventory levels in an increasingly competitive market.
At AMMEX, we use First Pass Fill rate, which is the percentage of cases ordered that are filled on the day an order is received. This means orders are not only shipped complete, but also on time.
The disposable glove industry faces unique supply chain challenges, including raw material shortages, transportation delays, rapidly fluctuating logistics costs, and sudden spikes in demand. High fill rates indicate that a supplier is using the right management strategies, such as diversifying sources, maintaining safety stock, and utilizing flexible logistics solutions.
On the matter of quality, AMMEX has been importing disposable gloves for more than 35 years. We have established policies and procedures to ensure consistent quality that meets all required standards, but we take it one step further by performing in-person inspections of every shipment before it leaves the factory.
This isn’t a common practice in the disposable glove industry, but we took the proactive approach of setting up a team of highly trained glove professionals to catch issues early in production.
AMMEX is committed to helping clients manage inventory and costs. By carrying ample inventory and consistently providing 98%-plus fill rates, AMMEX stands ready to offer a predictable supply and help clients reduce inventory costs. We are focused on helping our clients manage risk while maintaining high service levels.
