number one selling industrial glove around the world, with over half
a million workers wearing it daily in a wide variety of industries.

set a benchmark for industry players active in this category. In 15
years, HyFlex(R) has gained critical recognition and market share for
its winning combination of ergonomic design, comfort and superior
