WE ARE SHOWA
ABOUT US
SHOWA is a fully integrated manufacturer of industrial hand protection
We work with the very latest in technological advancements with a renewed focus on creativity and innovation. SHOWA® is solely focused on the start-to-finish manufacturing of industrial hand protection. We fully control our industrial ecosystem, which has a decisive advantage over other companies. By creating all our own machinery, yarns, coatings, polymers, designs and hand formers, we control every step of our process, every step of the way – for 100% quality control at every level.
‘SHOWA’ means “finding a balance between different elements” in Japanese.
EVALUATION PROGRAMME
The SHOWA Evaluation programme consists of a 4-week strategic plan whereby glove trials can be managed effectively through 4 timed processes. These processes evaluate the performance of a SHOWA glove vs a currently used glove, indicating user preferences and advantages in terms of comfort, dexterity, fit and longevity. After 4 weeks a cost-efficient, custom-made plan for your hand protection needs is presented.
