Showa takes firm GRIP on Global market
Jan 2008
Carrying a brand name synonymous with quality, comfort and performance, SHOWA GLOVE CO has recently further strengthened its manufacturing capability with the acquisition of Tillotson’s BEST Glove Manufacturing and subsidiaries. This exciting addition to the SHOWA family builds on the expanding offer for the chemical resistant and premium quality disposable glove sectors. The takeover will create a global leader in glove manufacturing and product development. Showa Gloves and Best Glove will continue to operate as a separate, stand-alone companies throughout the UK and Europe. As the sole UK partner for SHOWA, Globus welcomes this fantastic development. GLOBUS M.D. Haraldur Agustsson commented…. “This acquisition demonstrates the continuing success and ambition SHOWA delivers across the globe. I have no doubt this will reinforce the position of SHOWA brands as leaders in technologically superior products, protecting people in many areas of risk across the UK and beyond. For Globus and our partners this represents another great landmark and whilst it remains “Business as usual”, this continues to mean fantastic sales support, increased new product innovation and profitable growth !!”
