INNOVATION DRIVING SUCCESS: SHOWA DEVELOPED THE WORLD'S FIRST SINGLE-USE NITRILE
The driving force behind SHOWA's ongoing expansion and sucess can be found in our process, our people, and our history. In 1951, Mr. Neil Tillotson founded Best Manufacturing and revolutionized the hand protection industry forever. The most notable achievement during this time was the launch of the world's first single use-nitrile. Best manufacturing held a patent on this manufacturing process for 20 years.
Today, as we expand to keep America protected, we are still guided by our founding principles. Every decision honors our deep roots in America Manufacturing and production, as well as our commitment to American workers who made SHOWA what it is today.. The only company producing these PPE products in America.
