Glove manufacturer Ansell has announced an historic milestone – the sale of its 500 millionth pair of HyFlex gloves. “Since its creation, the HyFlex brand has become the number one selling industrial glove around the world, with over half a million workers wearing it daily in a wide variety of industries,” said Mitchell Mackey, Ansell Asia Pacific Marketing Manager. “When first introducing HyFlex in 1996, Ansell for the first time demonstrated how optimal protection does not mean one needs to give in on comfort.

Ever since its launch, the original HyFlex concept has set a benchmark for industry players active in this category. In 15 years, HyFlex has gained critical recognition and market share for its winning combination of ergonomic design, comfort and superior mechanical protection.” Today, the HyFlex range extends to 28 individual styles, ensuring that there is a glove that fits every worker’s job performance requirements and comfort expectations. Magnus Nicolin, CEO of Ansell Ltd, said, “This milestone pays tribute to the HyFlex original brand concept which is all about delivering protection and comfort without compromise.

With innovation being the hallmark of the HyFlex glove range success today, Ansell is committed to continue to innovate and develop new ways of ensuring that our HyFlex series remains in pole position, and is the number one choice for workers across the globe.” Ansell says its HyFlex brand is the most comprehensive light-duty synthetic portfolio in the industry. Its patented Zonz Knit Technology reduces hand fatigue by providing stress release in the knuckle areas.
