Since 1988, AMMEX has protected countless hands across countless industries. One area in which we’ve always thrived is automotive service, where our Gloveworks Nitrile with Raised Diamond Texture, in orange, green, black, or royal blue, have been go-to gloves for at least a decade.
It’s safe to say that in the manufacturing industry, hand protection is a priority.
From working with machinery to encountering chemicals and hazardous materials to protecting products from contamination, single-use gloves factor into just about any scenario that involves making things. Some jobs require specialty protection like extra-thick neoprene, cut-resistant, or “armored” and padded work gloves, but just about everyone needs some degree of hand safety.
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.
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.
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.
Most disposable glove factories prefer to run their production lines almost non-stop to make money, in a concept known as factory utilization. It is common that a factory needs a 50% utilization rate to break even.
Throughout 2023, factory utilization rates for most of the disposable glove industry have been well below 50% because of massive capacity added during the pandemic and high excess inventory amounts at the end-user level.
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.
