Riverstone Resources

What Riverstone Resources does

Riverstone Resources Sdn Bhd is a Malaysian-incorporated manufacturer of premium cleanroom and healthcare nitrile gloves, wholly owned by Singapore Exchange-listed Riverstone Holdings Limited. Established in 1989 and headquartered in Bukit Beruntung, Selangor, the company operates additional manufacturing plants in Taiping (Perak, Malaysia), Prachinburi (Thailand), and Wuxi and Shenzhen (China), supported by regional sales offices in Singapore and the Philippines. Combined nameplate capacity is stated at 10 billion pieces of gloves per year, with roughly 85% of production exported to customers in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

The core product range is built around 100% pure nitrile formulations manufactured without plasticizers, phthalates, silicone oil, or amide. The portfolio is organized under three sub-brands: RS NITRILSTAT for cleanroom gloves (Standard, SF1 sulphur-free, Long Cuff 350–500 mm, and Halogen Free <500 ppm variants) compatible with Class 10/100/1000 cleanrooms; RS SAFE for healthcare and specialty nitrile gloves; and RS for cleanroom consumables including face masks, finger cots, LDPE/HDPE packaging bags, swabs, wipers, and sticky mats. In-house testing infrastructure covers liquid and airborne particle counting, ion chromatography, FTIR, GC-MS, SEM-EDX, ESD testing, and halogen bomb testing.

The business model is a direct, quote-based B2B sale to enterprise customers in semiconductor, hard disk drive, electronics, pharmaceutical, life sciences, aerospace, and healthcare end-markets. Go-to-market relies on participation in industry trade shows (Semicon Southeast Asia, Nepcon Thailand, SEMICON India, Medica Germany, India Lab Expo, and others), the company website's enquiry system, and regional sales offices. The company is qualified against an extensive certification stack including ISO 9001/13485/14001/45001, FDA 510(k), CE Mark (Class IIa), REACH, RoHS 3, WRAP, SMETA, RBA, and BSCI, which collectively underwrite access to regulated global OEMs.
