The Illinois-based division will provide service and support to customers manufacturing exam gloves on USMGC’s proprietary machines.
HARVARD, Ill.— U.S. Medical Glove Company (USMGC) reported that it launched a new division to support its growing business of building proprietary machines used by customers in America and across the globe to make medical exam gloves.
According to a release from USMGC, it is the only American manufacturer of the machines, components, and chemicals needed to make nitrile and polyisoprene exam gloves in the United States. Its new division, U.S. Medical Accessories (USMA), will exclusively supply USMGC customers with support and service for its machines. That includes supplying the parts, components, robotic tooling technology, laser cutting systems, custom electrical panels, and additional accessories required to manufacture nitrile and polyisoprene exam gloves, USMGC stated in the release.
“Our suite of tools and technology ensures our customers and joint-venture partners can continuously operate our revolutionary machines,” said Alex Todoroki of USMGC, in the release. “We understand how crucial it is to minimize any potential interruptions to the manufacturing and production of our life-protecting surgical and medical exam gloves.”
U.S. Medical Accessories is based out of USMGC’s global headquarters at its 350-acre, high-tech manufacturing facility in Harvard, Illinois. The new division is powered by a workforce of hundreds of engineers, welders, electricians, CNC technicians, and other support staff. A team of customer-service specialists also field support inquiries from customers across the globe at the Midwest campus, the release stated.
“This level of service and support has never existed in the industry,” Todoroki added. “Before, if you needed a part or had a problem with your machine, you were on your own. Chinese and other foreign manufacturers were not accountable for defects in their machinery.”
According to U.S. Medical Glove Company, its machines have transformed the manufacturing of medical exam gloves by building new technology and designing new processes to all but eliminate the inefficiency, waste, and contamination tied to traditional production methods. Compared to conventional models, USMGC’s machines are reported to use 11 times less water and 10 times less energy.
“Their modular design allows for shipment anywhere within 10 days. All machinery is proudly 100 percent Made-in-America, fabricated with materials, equipment, and components onsite in Illinois,” the release stated.
Recently, USMGC announced an $80 million contract to manufacture 12 of its machines in a joint venture partnership with Medeco Protective Safety Equipment Manufacturing, a division of Abu Dhabi Medical Devices Company (ADMD) in the United Arab Emirates.
“Our mission has always been to build not just a stockpile of protective medical equipment but an arsenal—capacity by Americans for Americans,” Todoroki stated. “With the launch of our Accessories division, we’re taking another critical step in the essential on-shoring of the healthcare products vital to our country’s health and security.”
