WHY NEARSHORE?

PANDEMIC GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS

When the pandemic landed on our shores, the country was beckoning for U.S. manufactured P.P.E. The urgency of need with time constraints made it difficult to find reliable hand protection as shortcuts led to loss of quality and faulty products put American lives at grave risk.

The US International Trade Commission estimates that 80-90% of U.S. PPE demand pre-pandemic was filled by imports, from China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and other Asian countries. Relying so heavily on Asia for critical PPE led to a predictable scenario in the pandemic months that followed.

Nearshoring production minimizes supply chain risks, ensures quicker shipping times, and provides simpler logistics that translate to consistent product availability even during market disruptions. They are not just manufacturing glove components. Rather, Superior Glove® can make high performing industrial work gloves and protective sleeves 100% from knit to dip right here in the U.S., helping American companies and government organizations select domestically finished PPE that meet strict federal regulation.

Superior Glove® innovates to fit the protection worker's needs into comfortable industrial work safety gloves and other P.P.E. they will want to wear. Managing their own nitrile dip coating lines, PVC dotting lines, yarn development capability, and cleanroom laundry—they are the most flexible and vertically integrated North American work glove manufacturer. In addition, Superior Glove® offers a full selection of Vend-Pack gloves, flame-resistant clothing, and a wide variety of innovative knitted sleeve protectors.
