The Glove Company have been protecting workers' hands with genuinely tough safety gloves for decades. Built with automotive and industrial workers in mind, The Glove Company's gloves are designed to provide heavy-duty protection, dexterity, durability, and comfort.
From tough nitrile gloves featuring unique low sweat technologies to reusable material gloves with lightweight, touchscreen-capable fibres, The Glove Company have a glove for your job.
The Glove Company began when Grant, our founder and CEO, got tired of auto-coating chemicals damaging his hands and soaking through flimsy medical gloves. After testing hundreds of formulas, he built a company dedicated to delivering tough, reliable hand protection for Aussie & Kiwi workers in hazardous environments.
The Glove Company revolutionised the hand safety industry in Australia & New Zealand. They introduced the first tough black nitrile disposable glove, the famous TGC Black The World’s Toughest Disposable Glove, featuring Low Sweat Technology. Their gloves are staples in thousands of workshops, and they haven’t stopped innovating glove technology.
The Glove Company's Komodo range features material handling gloves engineered for performance under pressure. Whether you need dexterity, cut resistance or sheer durability, the Komodo range has a tough option to match.

When shopping gloves for automotive & industrial work, the most common glove standards to look for are EN374-1 (chemical resistance) for disposable gloves and EN388 (cut resistance) for reusable gloves.
EN374-1 is the most common standard that disposable gloves should feature.EN374-1 tests a glove's chemical permeability and provides the best overview of a glove's chemical performance. Gloves certified under EN374-1 will be marked with a pictogram of a shield with a chemical beaker inside.
The EN388 standard tests a glove's resistance to mechanical hazards, including abrasion, cut, tear, puncture & impact. Gloves that are certified with the EN388 standard are marked with a pictogram of a shield with a hammer inside.
EN407 tests a glove's resistance to heat. There are two symbols relating to this standard to separate gloves with flame resistance and gloves without. Gloves certified to have heat and flame resistance will be marked with a pictogram of a shield with flames inside. Gloves certified to have heat without flame resistance will be marked with a pictogram of a shield with three wavy lines inside.
Thickness does not equal durability. Two gloves can have the same thickness but different strength levels. A glove's performance relies more on the formula than metrics like weight and thickness. Instead, look for trusted brands and the EN374-1 symbol when shopping for disposable gloves.
That being said, good quality, tough disposable gloves can range anywhere from 5mil to 10mil. (mil = one-thousandth of an inch or 0.0254mm, so 10mil = 0.254mm).
Yes! Fully textured gloves make a massive difference compared to no texture. A glove's texture is meant to mimic your hand's natural texture. Without anything, gloves are smooth, slippery, and offer no grip. One step above fully textured gloves are raised textured gloves, like Black Rocket Xtra Grip Nitrile Disposable Gloves. These gloves provide unrivalled grip when dealing with anything slippery.
Colour used to be the difference between a medical glove and an industrial-grade glove, but not anymore. You can find tough gloves that perform great in blue, orange, green, black, and more! The only difference now is the colour, not the performance or use.
Nitrile isn't a very breathable material. Plus, your hands are naturally more acidic, whereas gloves are more alkaline. This pH imbalance, paired with a non-breathable material, is why your hands get so sweaty. The Glove Company neutralises this imbalance with their exclusive formula, Low Sweat Technology! Featured on TGC Black Nitrile Disposable Gloves & TGC Orange Nitrile Disposable Gloves.
Nitrile material does have a higher chemical resistance compared to latex material, but it is important to remember that nothing is impermeable forever. Eventually, some chemicals will pass through nitrile gloves, especially strong-grade chemicals. However, for an everyday work glove, nitrile is a great choice for hand protection against common chemicals.
