SHOWA launches new MFT PRO technology series: A new standard of performance with uncompromising comfort

The MFT PRO series includes four new general-purpose gloves with various coating types – Natural Rubber, PU Flat Nitrile, and Microporous Nitrile.
SHOWA is proud to be the first glove manufacturer to incorporate MFT PRO technology into its general-purpose gloves. The MFT PRO 264, 344, 374, and 381 mark a continuation of SHOWA’s legacy of innovation, which includes pioneering the first PVC glove, the first disposable nitrile glove, and the first biodegradable single-use glove.

The new SHOWA MFT PRO series is packed in 12-pair bundles (144 pairs per shipper case), wrapped in a strong, lightweight and recyclable paper band. This packaging removes the use of plastic, reducing the products’ impact on the environment and saves on carbon emissions.

“At SHOWA, we are dedicated to transforming users’ expectations for glove performance,” said Tony Lynch, Vice President, EMEA. “The SHOWA MFT PRO line builds on the original SHOWA 381 model cherished by our loyal customers for the past nine years, and we are confident it will set a new standard for comfort in the workplace.”

Combining our microfiber technology with other high quality breathable materials ensures comfort during demanding tasks while delivering exceptional performance. Featuring a 4-way stretch for maximum flexibility, SHOWA MFT PRO hand protection solutions have fast-drying technology for all-day comfort and an interchangeable breathable design with ventilated sections for optimal airflow. The products are machine washable and reusable, making them a cost-effective choice. Their durability not only extends their lifespan but also contributes to significant cost savings over time.

“By introducing MFT PRO, we’re leveraging the trust we’ve built to enhance glove performance and expand our range of hand protection options,” Lynch added.

With innovation at the heart of its mission, SHOWA remains focused on the future, with continued advancements in research and development. The company plans to announce additional product lines in 2025, all of which will feature advanced technologies engineered for comfort and safety.
