BEST IS…
Quite simply, Best Manufacturing is the
world’s most innovative and leading
designer, developer and marketer of hand
protection. With a history of firsts stretching
back to the 1950s and its first patented
crinkle-finished rubber coated work glove
the Nitty Gritty
®
, Best has continually
searched to provide hand solutions to the
men and women on the front lines of
industry, medicine and homeland security.
• INNOVATION
By percentage, no other glove manufacturer
spends more on research and development
and overall technical services than does
Best Manufacturing. With our gleaming
new, eight thousand square-feet Tillotson-
Looper Technical Center, Best not only
develops new hand protection but also
conducts the most comprehensive chemical
analysis and testing within the personal
protective equipment industry. It’s that
commitment that delivers revolutionary
breakthroughs
like N-DEX

•SERVICE
Extending the absolute Best in customer
service is more than simply lip service at
Best. For the third consecutive year, we’ve
achieved a 97.9 percent customer satis-
faction and on-time delivery performance
score. Our Customer Service department
consistently ranks among the top among
safety manufacturers of any size. That
satisfaction rating also owes to our con-
tinuous development of new and more
customer-friendly terms for doing business.
Programs like our Best Bet™ program that
allows customers to try before they buy.
Simply purchase a case quantity of a glove
through your authorized Best distributor and
if you’re not satisfied, return the gloves and
pay nothing.

GLOVE LAUNDERING
Many of our gloves can be laundered,
which means they can be washed or dry
cleaned and then re-used for added value.
We include specific laundering instructions
with these appropriate Best styles.
SANITIZED
®
Best supported and cut-and-sewn gloves
are Sanitized
®
, a value-added process in
which we chemically treat the fabrics we
make for our gloves with an anti-microbial
bacteriostat, which retards the growth of
mold, mildew, and other normal skin
microbes and helps negate the effects of
perspiration. This means Best Sanitized
®
gloves stay fresher and serviceable longer,
giving you greater value.
