When it comes to disposable gloves, food service is a highly competitive industry. Workers often must work in conditions that aren’t exactly a model of hand safety, which only increases the value and importance of glove quality, consistency, and service. And the greater attention given to food purity and safety issues nowadays makes diligence even more important.
“Sustainability” is a word that gets bandied about a lot. At least some of the time, those who use it are in earnest; others merely pay lip service to a buzzword without taking it seriously.

We often get questions about whether currency exchange rate fluctuations will affect glove prices. The answer is maybe—but the reality is other factors figure more prominently. Even if fluctuations do have an effect, it’s not definitive—and it takes a long time to happen.

Happy New Year.
We are as always excited to share the latest updates on the trends impacting the disposable glove industry. We’ll provide the typical details, but here is the short version:
One of the most common questions we get, whether from calls to our customer service line or asked of our reps at trade shows, is “Are disposable gloves food safe?”
If you regularly wear vinyl gloves on the job, economics are likely the No. 1 reason why.
In the food service industry, preventing cross-contamination of all kinds is Job One. When you’re preparing food for customers with allergies, it’s even more important.
Disposable gloves are critical, as they provide a barrier that helps ensure allergen-sensitive food preparation is uncontaminated. Allergens are always top of mind at AMMEX—and we have the right gloves for the job.
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.
Disposable gloves can seem pretty, well, disposable sometimes. You get 100 in a box, 1,000 in a case, and if one or two prove defective, hey, those are the breaks (or rips or punctures). Why would that be a big deal to anyone?
Last of four parts
Unlike many other vendors in the disposable glove industry, AMMEX is focused on delivering products and solutions through sustainable processes for our customers and operating our business in a responsible way. In 2024, we are committed to an agenda of achieving measurable targets.
