In today’s manufacturing industry, although robotic arms have evolved to replace human hands over the last few decades, the human touch is still an irreplaceable part of the manufacturing and construction process. Protecting those valuable hands from abrasive surfaces, sharp objects, hazardous chemicals, and heat is accomplished by the unassuming industrial safety hand glove.
This is where Industrial Glove Lanka (IGL) comes in. IGL is registered under the Companies Act of Sri Lanka (PV00222594) as a manufacturer and distributor of industrial knitted supported hand safety gloves for OEM, ODM, and its own brand, LUVA, to the local market. All products are manufactured in strict compliance with ISO, SLS, EN, CE, and ASTM quality standards within a short period.
To date, IGL is led by its directors and supported by its highly capable team of manufacturing professionals. Operating out of its manufacturing plant located at the Industrial Development Zone in Kuruwita, Sri Lanka, IGL is accessible through its extensive island-wide network, supported by IGL’s own team of dedicated sales executives.
We are dedicated to producing high-quality gloves that conform to rigorous international standards including ISO, SLS, EN, CE, and ASTM.
To be the benchmark manufacturer of Safety Gloves in Sri Lanka, producing gloves of the highest quality while ensuring quality value addition to our consumers by consistently focusing on improvement and innovation, while developing an intrinsically Sri Lankan culture of safety
To produce the finest quality safety gloves in keeping with both local and international quality standards, to offer supreme protection and comfort to our consumers.
All IGL industrial knitted supported hand gloves consist of two parts: the knitted shell or cut and sewn liner, and the rubber coating.
The shell is made from a single yarn or a combination of yarns such as polyester, cotton, nylon, HPPE, glass fiber, steel fiber, Dyneema, Kevlar, acrylic (Terry knit), and carbon fiber. The selection of yarn is based on the type of environment in which the glove will be worn, for example, cut resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance.
The IGL manufacturing process is environmentally friendly since it does not include washing and needs only a limited water supply used for cleaning containers. This negligible amount of latex contaminated water is treated in IGL’s own in-house effluent treatment plant, ensuring that only purified water is discharged into the environment. Other waste such as offcuts of polythene is collected separately and disposed of in a recycling plant. Chemical containers such as barrels are also sold to scrap collectors, thereby creating indirect beneficiaries.
IGL also contributes value addition to Sri Lanka’s rubber industry by sourcing the rubber used in our production process from local producers and the local centrifuged latex market, thereby positively impacting our economy, beginning with local rubber farmers. Our products are made of local natural latex with excellent elongation and tensile strength, low non-rubber particles, and perfect maturity due to less lead time as the plant is geographically located in an area of rubber cultivation.
IGL’s state-of-the-art factory, located in the Industrial Development Zone in Kuruwita, Sri Lanka, is equipped with a fully automated dipping machine that processes gloves, from compound/latex preparation to finished glove packing. Designed, planned, and managed by professional engineers and chemists, the IGL factory includes an engineered waste management system/effluent treatment plant custom-made to ensure an environmentally friendly production process.
At Industrial Glove Lanka (IGL), we take great pride in producing high-quality industrial knitted supported hand safety gloves for our customers. As a registered manufacturer and distributor under the Companies Act of Sri Lanka (PV00222594), we provide OEM, ODM, and our own brand, LUVA, to the local market.
