Much more than a glove manufacturer
What sets us apart from other glove manufacturers is the way we share our know-how. More specifically, our customers:
- benefit constantly from our consultancy and expertise;
- can have their protection needs audited by our sales force and experts;
- can be advised by our Technical Department regarding the compounds used in each glove and their level of protection, backed by the necessary certificates;
- can make use of the special programmes we have created to help industries select the right glove for the right job.
By offering these services, we aim to help boost worker acceptance, foster the use of adequate gloves and hence reduce occupational injuries and their cost. And ultimately we hope to contribute to the ongoing success of the industry we serve.
Protection from risks
Offering effective barrier protection, Ansell gloves:
- protect workers against bruises, cuts, chemicals, temperature extremes and other occupational hazards;
- protect products, for example in the food-processing industry, and protect critical environments, like those in the pharmaceuticals sector.
