In this issue of Industrial Solutions, we have chosen Manosun as our Company of Choice for January 2023.
Since the company was established in 2020, its mission has been to bring change to the end-user experience in selecting and buying industrial gloves, gauntlets and sleeves (PPE). As the designer and manufacturer of such an innovative range of quality industrial hand protection that is available for all industrial applications, Manosun is breaking the mould of traditional offerings with a core range of hand protection that are safe and the perfect fit for anyone that requires PPE.
“Manosun is a provider of Industrial Hand Protection (Gloves), and we work with all end-users including globally known brands such as Nissan, JDR Cables, and SUEZ. As part of our service we also survey the work environment, advise on the correct level of hand protection needed or if needed, we can even develop a brand-new product to the exact requirements of the customer. Manosun have the ability to work on small MOQ’s from our sponsor factory in China and the ability to develop new products for an ever-changing work environment offering products where ‘not all solutions are off the shelf.’ From ARC, Impact, FR. CUT and General handling applications, our products are the ideal solution for a range of industries from Utilities, Oil & Gas, Electronics and Automotive, to Maintenance, Hot Handling, Circuit Boards, and Renewable Energy,” stated Steven Patterson, Owner.
Of course, it’s not just its versatile application that makes Manosun’s products stand out. Their long-lasting durability is down to the high-quality materials that are used for all its products. Every product offers extra flexibility and dexterity that ensures minimal hand fatigue, and because of its 360° breathe technology, all products have the ability to keep hands cool while working.
Once an offshore requirement, you can now find Impact hand protection being used across a broad range of industries including the emergency services, vehicle manufacturing and dismantling. One of its main features is that Impact hand protection gloves are perfect for protecting the back of the hand, preventing broken bones.
Offering superb protection from Arc, Flame, Heat and Cut, one notable product developed using an ARC glove is the EUFR5L20. It is ideal for the welding assembly process with automotive and other similar sectors to protect the hands from ‘Spatter’ burns, contact heat, cuts and includes a sacrificial leather palm to enhance grip and protect the glove from lacerations from ragged steel components when being handled.
ARC is the release of stored energy, so it is vital that those working in industries where an explosion of heat from an electrical circuit could occur are protected. This occurrence has recently become more common and an increasingly bigger worry, particularly in electrical vehicles when it comes to the recovery, service, manufacture and recycling of.
ARC Flash is the range of hand protection by Manosun that really set the standards in the hand protection industry. Inherently flame resistant, all ARC Flash gloves are Certified in Arc Flash Protection (ATPV Arc level 2 as per new standard ASTM F2675/F2675M–19e1). The innovative Manosun coating technology ensures a better grip and longer glove life, and with its extra flexibility and dexterity minimises hand fatigue. The range has a greater life expectancy than others currently on the market because it can handle multiple launderings while keeping the same performance.
So far, Manosun’s products have been revolutionary across England, but a big part of its future growth is to ensure every area of the UK is aware of the brand and its products. Steven explained further, “Our plans in 2023 are to employ an additional two people to help promote sales, one in the North for Scotland with a focus on manufacturing and the offshore industry, and the second in the South (Oxfordshire area) to develop distribution connections to the complex end-user markets. We have only just passed the two-year stage so are still very fresh. My experience spans for more than 16 years in hand protection and my drive is to simplify the development of new products (product development at the factory). Traditionally this takes months and can be very expensive but the relationship and support from my factory partner allows Manosun to develop new products much quicker without an unachievable MOQ (minimum order quantity).”
Another way to expand its brand presence is by taking part in trade shows. 2023 will see Manosun supporting the HSM Publication Expo in November with the BSiF, as well as some other local popup exhibitions supporting its two new member groups: The North East Automotive Alliance and the Advanced Manufacturing Forum.
