• Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd: Malaysian glove producer manufacturing nitrile and latex examination gloves plus cleanroom and specialty gloves. Closely comparable to HARPS in product categories, manufacturing geography, and customer verticals.
• Mölnlycke Health Care: Swedish medical device company with the Biogel surgical glove brand, primarily serving operating-room and wound-care markets. Highly comparable surgical glove segment targeting the same healthcare professionals as HARPS' sempermed brand.
• Hartalega Holdings Berhad: Leading Malaysian manufacturer of nitrile examination gloves supplying global healthcare customers. Highly comparable business model and product focus to HARPS' examination glove business, with similar go-to-market through international distributors.
• Semperit AG Holding: Austrian rubber products company historically associated with the sempermed brand and industrial glove business. Direct comparator to HARPS' Austrian manufacturing operations and product portfolio, especially given brand heritage overlap.
• Top Glove Corporation Bhd: World's largest rubber glove manufacturer headquartered in Malaysia, producing surgical, examination, and industrial nitrile and latex gloves. Directly competes with HARPS in the medical exam glove category with similar product breadth and global distributor reach.
