Fusion® Melt Resistant Gloves Manufacture

Our production department manufactures a unique Nylon glove with melt resistant properties making them ideal for using in the catering industry and distributed to fast food chains acroos the UK and Europe. We own and operate an extruder which we use to manufacture our own blown film to convert into our melt resistant gloves. We have a unique blend of materials, which when mixed together and extruded create a Nylon melt resistant film which can withstand temperatures up to 185 degrees centigrade. The extruder is capable of producing 550kg of finished material per every 24 hours, which is wound onto fully recycled cardboard cores each containing 1400m of material.​ Our Bourne facility operates two Italian Cibra glove conversion ma chines which can produce 96 gloves per minute. Based on the current shift pattern we are running; each shift is now capable of producing 63,360 gloves which equates to 126.72 finished cases of 500 gloves.​ Our UK made gloves offers so many benefits: a lower carbon foot print, local job opportunities, a local economy boost and UK manu facturing skills retention. Our team of engineers have ensured our glove templates create the absolute minimum amount of waste per cycle. We have a recycling system in place that means 100% of any waste created is repro cessed and then supplied into the car manufacturing industry who then uses the material in new car dashboards and various other parts.
