Dedication to Quality Control Sets AMMEX Apart

Disposable glove formers sit at the ready in a SE Asia factory.

Disposable gloves are essential for—among lots of other things—maintaining hygiene, protecting workers from potential hazards, and preventing the spread of infections. Without strict quality-control measures, even a tiny production slipup could cause an entire batch of gloves to go bad.

It’s likely both distributors and end users can relate to opening a case of new gloves, only to discover that they are all bricked together. Or they tear as soon as they’re pulled on. Or they have the distinctive odor of being well past their use date.

A Little Glove Foresight Can Help Prevent Jan/San Injuries

Cleaning carpet while wearing Gloveworks green nitrile disposable gloves.

When you think of professions with high injury rates, you most likely turn to such jobs as commercial fishing, logging, or roofing. Janitorial work may not seem perilous—but the injuries jan/san crews suffer should not be taken lightly.

Especially troublesome are hand injuries, which can result in missed work, elevated worker’s comp premiums, and less quality control. A solution can be as simple as ensuring employees have the right glove for the job—something that AMMEX specializes in.

4 Reasons Why You Should Work with AMMEX

Two people shake hands while wearing blue nitrile disposable gloves.

During the pandemic, many distributors scrambled to find a glove vendor—while others dropped products altogether, including single-use gloves, because of the difficulty and/or cost of obtaining them.

Have you asked why you are buying from your current disposable glove vendor? Now might be the time to make sure that your organization has a clear understanding of what differentiates your suppliers.

Glove Market Update: The Roller-Coaster Ride of Logistics Costs

An 18-wheeler drives down a lonely highway with a sunrise in the background.

Costs of doing business in the disposable glove market seem to be leveling off after several years of big swings. United Parcel Service and the Teamsters reached a deal to avoid a strike by getting the raises the drivers wanted. Thus, higher labor costs will likely affect the price of most goods they transport.

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union and Pacific Maritime Association also forged their own deal after months of labor strife; you can expect that agreement to eventually factor into product costs as well.

Gloveworks Is the Solution for Industrial Hand Protection

A worker wearing orange nitrile gloves from Gloveworks works with machinery.

If there was ever an industry that demanded making hand protection a priority, it is manufacturing.

From working with machinery to encountering chemicals and hazardous materials to protecting products from contamination, gloves factor into just about any scenario that involves making things. Many jobs require specialty protection like extra-thick neoprene, cut-proof, or “armored” and padded work gloves, but just about everyone needs some degree of hand safety.

Janitorial, Sanitation Jobs Demand Better Hand Protection

A jan/san worker operates a sprayer while wearing black nitrile gloves.

The push is on to return workers to offices across the country. Both commercial and government entities are exerting pressure to persuade currently remote employees to come in from the field, at least three days a week and in many cases full-time.

That puts janitorial and sanitation workers in the spotlight once again. Offices that have sat vacant since the pandemic first spread in 2020 again will have to be regularly cleaned and sanitized.
