THE FIRST CHOICE FOR SAFETY


Here, Supertouch outlines its commitment to ensuring its range of safety products are fit for purpose no matter the occasion.


FLEXIBILITY Supertouch’s ability to meet specific requirements


for customers is boosted by the fact that it operates its own factory. This means it is able to develop bespoke ranges for specialist requirements, instilling confidence amongst customers that it can meet a wide range of demands, often well ahead of average market R&D timescales.


SUSTAINABILITY Achieving sustainability in an industry dominated by


Since its inception in 1996, Supertouch has grown to become one of the leading multi-category manufacturers and suppliers of PPE and workwear in the UK & Republic of Ireland. By placing the workforce at the heart of everything it does, Supertouch ensures that its range of safety products are suitable for a vast array of applications, regardless of budget.


QUALITY First and foremost, Supertouch prides itself on the


quality that transcends its product range, from disposables through to premium workwear. It combines rigorous R&D with a production process that ensures an optimum finish, which is highlighted by figures which show the high levels of customer satisfaction, with a return rate of just 0.03%.


COMPLIANCE All Supertouch products are independently tested


and certified by UK notified bodies, such as the Shoe and Allied Trade Research Association (SATRA), with datasheets for individual products readily accessible. With 100% compliance across its entire range, Supertouch is also proud to be part of BSIF’s Registered Safety Supplier Scheme (RSSS).


SECURITY OF SUPPLY With many industries operating a Just in Time (JIT)


programme, including the food industry, which is one of the UK’s most valuable industrial sectors, productivity is dependent on fast access to both raw materials and application-critical PPE. As a key supplier to the food sector, Supertouch has developed strong relationships with its supply chain to ensure it is able to achieve close to 100% availability for key items. The Covid-19 pandemic has seen demand for disposable products such as gloves, headwear and coveralls soar yet Supertouch has maintained a steady supply of these products throughout thanks to its diverse supply base.

disposables is a challenge that Supertouch looks to tackle head-on. One of the ways that it does this is through the quality of its range, which ultimately last longer than inferior products.


Supertouch has also undertaken a number of sustainability-focused measures, including: the removal of 85% of plastics from protective gloves packaging, consolidating import loads to reduce carbon footprint, auditing suppliers to ensure materials are ethically sourced, and looking at ways to reduce the environmental end-of-life impact of products.


INNOVATION AND COLLABORATION Regularly engaging with end-users allows


Supertouch to understand market needs, and a dynamic R&D team ensures it can work to develop solutions that fulfil them. Supertouch’s Pawā range of protective gloves is the perfect example of this innovative approach, pushing the performance of PPE forward. The PG400, for example, is the thinnest coated thermal glove on the market, giving wearers the dexterity and thermal protection they require.


Supertouch’s dedication to being the first choice for safety doesn’t end with the creation and delivery of quality high-performing products. End-user consultations make sure that clients can be specific about what they are looking for, and the insight is used to inform development of future products.


ADDED VALUE Across its range, Supertouch is able to offer a


complete package to customers. Assurance of quality, security of supply, innovation, sustainability, and a collaborative approach all contribute to an overall package that appeals to budgets of all sizes.


FIRST CHOICE FOR SAFETY Supertouch’s dedication to engaging with end-users


and providing the highest-quality PPE ensures it is the first choice for safety for its customers.
