The Hartalega story began in 1988. Our insatiable appetite to constantly surpass our own achievements has transformed what started as a single‑line production facility into what we are today, the leading nitrile gloves manufacturer in the world, with a growing capacity to produce billions of gloves every year. We export to over 70 countries across five continents, namely Americas, Asia, Europe, Australia and Africa.

Today, we are home to advanced proprietary manufacturing technology that allows us to safeguard the quality of our products and the efficiency of our operations. Our unrivalled proprietary technology provides us with an important competitive edge as we own the fastest production lines in the industry, producing more than 45,000 gloves per hour.
