SHOWA
SHOWA is a specialist manufacturer of professional hand protection, developing innovative gloves for industries ranging from construction and engineering to manufacturing, chemical handling and food processing. Combining advanced materials, ergonomic design and specialist coating technologies, SHOWA gloves are designed to provide the right balance of protection, grip, dexterity and comfort.
About SHOWA
Founded in Japan in 1954, SHOWA has spent more than 70 years specialising in hand protection. The company has been responsible for a number of important developments in glove technology, including the first PVC glove, the first 100% nitrile latex-free glove and the first breathable waterproof glove using its TEMRES technology.
SHOWA is also unusual in being a fully integrated glove manufacturer. It develops its own machinery, yarns, coatings, polymers, designs and hand formers, giving the company control throughout the manufacturing process.

Why Choose SHOWA?
SHOWA approaches glove design as a specialist rather than simply another PPE category. By controlling its own materials, coatings and manufacturing processes, the company develops gloves around specific hazards and applications while maintaining a strong focus on ergonomics, dexterity and wearer comfort.
Hand Protection Specialists
Hand protection is SHOWA’s entire focus. Its range covers everyday handling through to specialist cut, chemical, impact, thermal and antistatic applications, allowing gloves to be selected according to the actual hazards and working conditions involved.
Ergonomic Comfort & Dexterity
SHOWA develops its own hand formers to replicate the natural shape of the hand. Combined with seamless liners and flexible coatings, this helps provide a close, comfortable fit with the dexterity needed for prolonged professional use.
DURACoil Technology
SHOWA’s DURACoil technology combines specially wrapped fibres with HPPE reinforcement to provide cut and abrasion resistance while retaining a lightweight, comfortable feel. Different coatings are available across the DURACoil family for different working conditions and applications.
Eco Best Technology®
SHOWA’s Eco Best Technology® (EBT) is used in selected nitrile gloves to accelerate biodegradation in biologically active landfills without compromising the intended protection and performance of the glove. SHOWA introduced its first biodegradable nitrile glove in 2012 and has since expanded the technology across disposable and reusable products.
