PANIC | SPRING 2020
When the virus swarmed our shorelines in the spring of 2020, it devastated supply chains forcing our country into a panic to find supplies, especially nitrile gloves to protect their employees and patients from infection. Supply chain breakdowns and profiteering created crippling delays, price gouging and inferior products put Americans at risk. Those who were able to secure PPE paid a heavy price for the privilege. By April 2020, the cost of PPE had spiked more than 1,000%. With no domestic manufacturing, we relied on a foreign supply chain to protect personal safety. 
LEGISLATION
To address the problem, the Biden administration, moved aggressively to re-shore domestic production. This occurred through legislation that extended the Berry Amendment to PPE, as well as the bi-partisan "Make PPE in America Act" signed into law by President Biden as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
NEVER FORGET
Folks, there will be future pandemics.... remember all the PPE shortages and front-line unpreparedness we endured. While legislation helps somewhat, a change in mindset is desperately needed. Why you ask? Reports claim that domestic PPE buyers are reverting back to a “cheapest overseas supplier” mentality and this can leave the U.S. being stuck in the same position as the spring of 2020.
The pandemic lessons must be remembered, because cheap overseas PPE supplies is what got the U.S. in trouble to start with. Cheap PPE can also quickly become crippling from a cost perspective if buyers incur exorbitant shipping costs, delays or inferior product issues.
SUPPORT & PROTECT AMERICANS WITH SUPERIOR U.S. MADE GLOVES
For two years Americans beckoned for domestic made single-use gloves. Well folks, that day has arrived and they need your support. SHOWA® realized years ago, well before the pandemic, that America needed its own source of single-use gloves and stepped forwarded. They invested 45 million dollars on a plant expansion to reshore best-in-class nitrile glove products that protect our friends and family.

NEVER FORGET
If we walk back from the current and buy the “cheapest available” today, we will lose all the positive manufacturing onshoring momentum built over the past several months. The U.S. will then find itself stuck in the same PPE shortage cycle, and unpreparedness for future pandemics. While domestic made PPE may cost you a little more, there are many benefits of buying American. Lastly and most importantly, when dealing with the health and safety of our American workers, which country do you trust more to deliver the protection needed?
The pandemic lessons we endured must never be forgotten and it starts with you buying American made essential personal protective equipment (PPE) such as single-use latex free nitrile gloves from SHOWA®.
