Showa’ means“finding a balance between different elements” in Japanese. This principle is much more than just a formula; it is at the heart of our approach and requires full control of all stages.
SHOWA is the only company that fully controls the design and manufacture of its protective gloves. Every day at SHOWA we continue to innovate to provide each wearer with a product that meets expectations. This autonomy, impervious to competitor methods and concepts, is based on constantly surpassing what has been done before, ensuring that everyone enjoys comfort and optimum safety.
In 2014, SHOWA® implemented and launched a global rebrand, unifying the merger of SHOWA and Best Manufacturing into one name. The brand, hand logo and tagline reflects the modern and enduring characteristics of our great company. The font is unique to SHOWA and fingers above the “O” represent a SHOWA glove former. The color pallet is a mixture of vibrant green, strong black and a bright white hue. The new tagline is a tribute to the pioneering spirit of our company and commitment to carry that same dedication into the future; “Always innovating. Never imitating” expresses an attitude and determination to bring new technologies and innovations to the marketplace. This is our commitment to our employees and our customers.
Today more than ever, SHOWA stands for the highest degree of hand protection and innovation. Our technology has forever changed our industry, what our hands are capable of and the impact we make on our environment.
We pioneer the quality, performance and protection to give ordinary hands extraordinary abilities.
