This division is dedicated to industrial hand protection only: leather work and welding gloves, mechanic gloves, and coated and cut-resistant knit gloves, specified to the hazard and the standard your market requires.

Listed so you can tell us what your market requires. We do not claim any glove meets a standard; we request the manufacturer’s test report for the specific glove and share it with you.

Sizing

Gloves are sized by hand circumference, commonly 7 (S) to 11 (XXL). Specify the size range and the ratio of sizes per carton.

Tell us your market (EU, UK, US or other) so sizing and labelling match what your customers expect.

Customisation & private label

Customisation is written into the specification and approved by you before production, so what arrives matches what was agreed.

    Size range and the ratio of sizes per carton agreed for your market.

Questions buyers ask

Straight answers.

Are your gloves certified to EN 388 or ANSI standards?

We do not make certification claims on this website. If your market requires a standard, tell us which one. We ask the manufacturing partner for test documentation covering the specific glove, and share it with you before anything is quoted against that requirement.

Can I enquire now even though the category is in development?

Yes. Specific requirements help us choose which gloves and manufacturers to develop first. We will tell you plainly whether we can meet the requirement now, later, or not at all.

Can I order gloves and workwear together?

Yes, through our Workwear & Safety Apparel division as well. Each product is specified and quoted on its own terms, as gloves and garments are usually made by different manufacturers.
