Headquartered in Menlo, Georgia, Best offers more than 100 individual glove styles with more than 600 separate varieties for use primarily in the industrial and healthcare industries. In September 2007, Best was acquired by SHOWA Glove, Japan, one of the worlds largest industrial glove makers. The combination of SHOWA and Best offers best-in-class technology, a comprehensive hand product portfolio, extensive channel coverage, and global production facilities. Both companies, founded in the 1950s, have a commitment to producing the worlds highest quality gloves. Best continues to operate as a stand-alone company. Recognized internationally for innovative technology and superior quality, Best manages its entire production process, from research and development to manufacturing and marketing. This strict "start-to-finish" control over production processes has established the companys reputation for the highest quality products. Most importantly, it provides the foundation for internal growth and the introduction of new lines such as N-DEX®, the industrys first non-latex, non-vinyl disposable glove, and N-DEX® Free, the industrys first accelerator-free, latex-free disposable nitrile glove. A nitrile-based replacement for latex rubber exam gloves, the N-DEX glove has been instrumental in helping hospitals and health care providers effectively treat and protect patients and employees who are latex sensitive. It is also the preferred glove for clean room hi-tech assembly and many industrial operations. The N-DEX® Free glove provides laboratory, pharmaceutical and industrial workers an accelerator-free, latex-free option with greater grip, comfort, and dexterity. Best Gloves industry leadership is not limited to the production of gloves. The companys research and published work on hand protection and related issues includes the industrys most comprehensive chemical resistant guide, Chemrest. This guide covers most chemicals commonly used in various work applications, providing volatility, break down times and proper glove usage for each. Best offers this guide free via mail or as a download to anyone accessing the company website. For more information on Chemrest, go to www.bestglove.com.
