The Hartalega story began in 1988. Our insatiable appetite to constantly surpass our own achievements has transformed what started as a single-line production facility into what we are today, the leading nitrile gloves manufacturer in the world, with a growing capacity to produce billions of gloves every year. We export to over 70 countries across five continents, namely Americas, Asia, Europe, Australia and Africa.
As an industry leader, we pave the way forward through our commitment to innovation. We invented the world's first lightweight nitrile glove, which revolutionalised the industry by shifting the global demand from latex to nitrile gloves. Today, we are home to advanced proprietary manufacturing technology that allows us to safeguard the quality of our products and the efficiency of our operations. Our unrivalled proprietary technology provides us with an important competitive edge as we own the fastest production lines in the industry, producing more than 45,000 gloves per hour.
In all that we do, we are guided by our SHIELD (Synergy, Honesty, Innovation, Excellence, Learning, Dedication) values to do the right thing at all times. As we continue to grow by leaps and bounds, we are single-minded in ensuring that we make a meaningful difference by enriching lives, from the healthcare practitioners and the people they care for to our very own #TeamHartanians, stakeholders and the community. We welcome like-minded individuals to be part of our exciting team. Together, let us make a difference.
