Grippaz Corporation Company Limited

What Grippaz Corporation Company Limited does

Grippaz Corporation Company Limited is a Thailand-domiciled manufacturer of extended-use nitrile gloves, headquartered at Bhiraj Tower, EmQuartier, Bangkok, and operating as a brand under parent company Covco, which has manufactured gloves since 1987. The company sells a portfolio of three core SKUs differentiated by thickness — Model 245/305 (4.5 mil, light), Model 246/306 (6 mil, medium, its biggest-selling line), and Model 308 (8 mil, heavy) — plus a build-to-order Custom Grippaz service allowing specification of size (XS to 5XL), thickness, length (240 or 300 mm), and Pantone-matched color with localized packaging for regional markets. The core technical differentiator is a worldwide-patented fish scale grip pattern debossed on both exterior and interior surfaces, produced from a molecular cross-linked nitrile compound that delivers a claimed 5X service life versus standard disposable gloves, up to 80% reduced glove usage, and +50% tensile strength from a lattice rip-stop effect. SATRA testing reports 100% grip performance for Grippaz versus 76% for Raised Diamond and 33% for a leading brand.

The business operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market, generating demand through global trade shows (Automechanika, ISSA, Thaifex, EISENWAREMESSE, EMS World Expo, Field Days) and direct inquiry handling via a Bangkok-based sales team ([email protected], +66 2 261 3270). Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, distributor networks, and channel/reseller partners, with localized packaging supporting regional markets. Customers are concentrated in nine verticals: Automotive & Engineering, Food Processing, Janitorial & Sanitation, Construction, Agriculture, Life Sciences & Laboratory, Emergency Services, Military & Tactical, and Tattoo & Beauty. Named enterprise logos include Ford, Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mazda, BRF, Tyson, JBS, Danish Crown, and Bunzl. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through direct sales contacts.

Manufacturing runs on 14 production lines in Thailand, with capacity scaled 500% by year-end 2022 and exports reaching 60+ countries. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 13485, CE marking (notified body 2777), EN ISO 374-1:2016/TYPE C, EN 1186 food-contact, and AQL 1.5 certifications. Grippaz operates as a private, subsidiary-level brand under Covco with no disclosed third-party investment, public listing, or funding rounds, and revenue figures are not publicly available.

Core offering

Grippaz manufactures and sells extended-use nitrile disposable gloves featuring a patented fish scale grip pattern, produced in light (4.5mil), medium (6mil), and heavy (8mil) weight models, plus a build-to-order custom glove service. The gloves are sold B2B across automotive, food processing, janitorial, construction, agriculture, life sciences, emergency services, military and beauty verticals, with manufacturing conducted on 14 production lines in Thailand.

Product overview

Grippaz is a manufacturer of extended-use nitrile gloves featuring patented fish scale grip technology. The product portfolio consists of three main glove models differentiated by thickness (4.5mil/0.11mm, 6mil/0.15mm, 8mil/0.20mm) and length options (240mm or 300mm), plus a custom build-to-order service. The patented fish scale grip pattern provides superior traction on both external and internal surfaces, while the molecular cross-linked nitrile compound offers enhanced tensile strength, chemical resistance, and tear-stop properties compared to standard disposable nitrile gloves. All gloves are ambidextrous, latex-free, and designed to mould to the hand for a second-skin fit.

Emerging players

• Raven Industries / RAVEN Gloves: Specialty PPE distributor and glove brand focused on hazardous-materials handling, law enforcement, and tactical markets. Overlaps with Grippaz in emergency services, EMS, and military-tactical segments.
• Mechanix Wear: US performance-glove brand dominant in motorsports, automotive aftermarket, and tactical channels. Adjacent to Grippaz in automotive, engineering, and race-engineering use cases but positioned as a premium reusable rather than disposable glove.

Direct peers

• Unigloves: UK-based nitrile and latex disposable glove specialist with healthcare, food, and industrial focus. Most comparable mid-sized peer to Grippaz, sharing similar end-market segmentation and a custom-glove offering.
• Hartalega Holdings: Malaysian manufacturer of nitrile and latex examination gloves with strong global distribution. A direct competitor to Grippaz in medical-grade and industrial nitrile disposable gloves, particularly in food processing and healthcare verticals.
• Top Glove Corporation: World's largest manufacturer of rubber and nitrile disposable gloves, supplying automotive, food processing, healthcare and industrial channels globally. Headquartered in Malaysia with the scale Grippaz competes against on price, though Top Glove is less differentiated on grip technology.
• SHOWA Group: Japanese manufacturer of chemical-resistant, cut-resistant, and disposable nitrile gloves with strong presence in food processing, automotive, and janitorial channels. SHOWA competes most directly with Grippaz's extended-use positioning in industrial and food-grade use cases.
• MAPA Professional: Specialty industrial-glove maker focused on chemical protection and food-processing applications. A direct mid-market peer to Grippaz in nitrile extended-use and disposable categories across Europe and globally.

Broad incumbents

• Ansell: Global leader in protective gloves and PPE across industrial, medical, and life-sciences segments. Ansell competes directly with Grippaz in nitrile and chemical-resistant glove categories, but operates a much broader portfolio spanning exam gloves, body protection, and sexual wellness products.
• Kimberly-Clark Professional: Global PPE and hygiene conglomerate selling KleenGuard, Jackson Safety, and Kimtech glove lines into industrial, automotive, and food-processing channels. An incumbent competitor with broader category reach but less specialized grip-differentiation.
• 3M Personal Safety Division: Diversified industrial giant with a PPE portfolio that includes nitrile and chemical-resistant gloves marketed into automotive, manufacturing, and life-sciences customers. Competes broadly with Grippaz across the same enterprise channels.
