Best Manufacturing prides itself on providing solutions for its customers. So when the company tested a new glove that exceeded the technical requirements of one of the nation’s leading automakers, they were puzzled when employees failed to adopt the glove. The solution was all about glove size.
Working with the procurement supervisor at one of the automaker’s midwestern plants, Best introduced the Zorb-It® glove for testing. The Zorb-It® glove outperformed the competitor’s glove by three to one on wear, but more important, its durability in the laundry was significantly better — only 13 percent of the Zorb-It® gloves had to be scrapped in the laundry versus 65 percent of the competitor’s gloves.
