What Hanvo does
Hanvo (江苏恒辉安防集团股份有限公司 / Jiangsu Hanvo Safety Group Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese manufacturer of functional safety protective gloves founded in 2004 in Rudong County, Nantong, Jiangsu Province, and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange GEM (ChiNext, ticker 300952) since March 11, 2021. The company produces cut-resistant, cold-resistant, oil-resistant, waterproof, thermal-insulating, anti-corrosion, and arc-flash-rated hand protection gloves sold under the BestGrip brand internationally and the 拳胜 (Quansheng) brand domestically in China. Products are manufactured for industrial enterprise customers across automotive, construction, logistics, oil and gas, chemical processing, metalworking, railway maintenance, aerospace, and sanitation sectors, reaching 50+ countries and 670 global strategic partners. Hanvo operates sales subsidiaries in Shanghai and Tokyo and holds a DuPont Kevlar® trademark licensing partnership for OEM/ODM supply.
Hanvo runs a vertically integrated production chain spanning upstream UHMWPE fiber (subsidiary Hengshang New Materials, scaling toward 7,800-12,000 tons annual capacity via Hengyue Phase II), proprietary MetalQ® engineered yarn, specialized coating and dipping processes (Breathtech micro-foam coating), and finished glove assembly. Adjacent businesses include Hengkun Intelligent Equipment for automation, a 55%-owned Hengnuo New Materials JV producing globally first bio-based degradable polyester rubber (GreenLytic/JURAN) developed with Academician Zhang Liqun's team, and a Vietnam manufacturing subsidiary (Hengbo Vietnam, USD 41 million) supplying Western markets. As of late 2025, Hanvo formally expanded operating scope into humanoid robotics — bionic tendon ropes, flexible joint protection sleeves, and skin clothing/elastic knitwear — under a new Embodied Intelligence Robot Core Components and Protection Products Development Center.
The business model is predominantly B2B hardware sales with per-order negotiated pricing, distribution through direct enterprise sales, OEM/ODM arrangements with international brands, and authorized dealer networks (~200 domestic dealers at 2023 conference). Hanvo monetizes across four revenue streams: (1) functional safety gloves (primary), (2) UHMWPE fiber and high-performance materials from Hengshang (90% internalized), (3) bio-based degradable rubber from Hengnuo (early stage), and (4) robot core components (early commercialization). Cumulative environmental investment exceeds RMB 200 million, ESG rating upgraded from BBB to A (Huazheng Index 2025), and the company holds the PPE industry's first SGS-issued product carbon-neutral certificate.

Hanvo competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Ansell: Australian-listed global leader in hand and body protection, including cut-resistant and chemical-resistant industrial gloves. Closest direct competitor to Hanvo in industrial safety gloves worldwide, with comparable OEM/brand model and similar end-market exposure.
- Uvex Safety Group: German family-owned safety glove and PPE manufacturer with strong European industrial customer base. Closely comparable product portfolio in cut-resistant, chemical, and mechanical-hand protection gloves.
- Showa Group: Japanese manufacturer of single-use and industrial protective gloves with strong presence in Europe and the US. Direct peer in cut-resistant and chemical-resistant glove categories serving similar industrial customers.
- Superior Glove Works: Canadian manufacturer specializing in cut-resistant and high-performance industrial gloves. Direct peer in North American industrial safety glove market with comparable product range.

Broad incumbents
- MSA Safety: US-listed global safety equipment manufacturer offering head-to-toe PPE solutions including hand protection. Competes broadly with Hanvo in industrial safety but with a wider product portfolio.
- Honeywell Safety (now PPE division under Protective Equipment): Global PPE incumbent offering North, Miller, and Howard Leight hand protection brands. Competes with Hanvo in industrial safety gloves and PPE but operates at much larger scale across broader categories (respiratory, hearing, fall protection).
- 3M (Safety & Industrial Business Group): Global diversified PPE and industrial conglomerate. Overlaps with Hanvo in hand protection but competes primarily across broader PPE categories (respiratory, hearing protection, etc.).
Others
- DuPont (Kevlar/Tyvek — Personal Protection): DuPont licenses Kevlar to Hanvo for cut-resistant gloves (2023 partnership) and is both a material supplier and an adjacent participant in high-performance fibers. Comparable as a high-performance fiber upstream peer rather than direct glove competitor.
