Factory-Direct to Global B2B Buyers

Weifang Glovemfg Medical Products Co., Ltd. is based in Zhilan No. 3 Village, Gaomi Economic Development Zone, Gaomi, Weifang, Shandong. We've been running since 2007. The facility covers 18,000 square meters, employs 220 people, and runs 8 fully automated dipping lines. Annual output sits at 1.2 billion pieces.

Capacity That Works at Container Scale

When you're sourcing at container scale, that capacity means your order doesn't compete with someone else's for line time. Our customers are distributors, medical supply companies, industrial safety wholesalers, and private-label brands.

Consistent Spec Across a Full Year of Orders

They come to us because they need a manufacturer who can hold spec across a full year's worth of orders — not just the first sample shipment. Medical, industrial, and food-contact grades. All under one roof.

Our History

How We Got Here

We started in 2007 with four dipping lines and a straightforward focus: produce powder-free nitrile gloves that could pass European and North American import requirements consistently.

2007

Four Lines, One Focus

Launched with four dipping lines. The mandate was simple: produce powder-free nitrile gloves that could pass European and North American import requirements consistently.

Early Years

Solving Thickness Variation

The challenge wasn't making gloves — it was making them the same way every time. Thickness variation was the main culprit. A glove that measures 0.10mm at the palm and 0.07mm at the fingertip fails AQL at the destination port, and that's a container your buyer can't sell.

Compounding Lab

In-House Formulation Control

We built our own compounding lab and took control of the nitrile formulation in-house. Once we owned the compound, we could tune viscosity, cure temperature, and dipping speed as a system rather than adjusting one variable at a time.

2012–2015

Scaling Without Losing Consistency

As export volumes picked up, the process was stable enough to add lines without losing consistency. We expanded to 8 lines, added online pinhole detection across every line, and moved to 100% AQL 1.5 outgoing inspection.

Ongoing

Accelerator-Free & Textured Variants

The accelerator-free and textured fingertip variants came later, driven by specific buyer requests from the European medical market. We kept them in the standard production rotation because the demand proved durable.

Why In-House Compounding Matters to You

Most glove factories buy compound from a third-party supplier and adjust dipping parameters around it. When the compound changes — and it does — the glove changes. We eliminated that variable by owning the formulation. Viscosity, cure temperature, and dipping speed are tuned as a system.

Thickness consistency across the full glove surface — palm and fingertip

100% AQL 1.5 outgoing inspection — not sampled, not spot-checked

Online pinhole detection on every line, not end-of-line sampling

Accelerator-free and textured fingertip variants in standard rotation

The result: A process stable enough to scale from 4 to 8 lines without spec drift. Your reorder matches your first order.

Production Infrastructure

The Manufacturing Facility: 8 Lines, 1.2 Billion Pieces

Walk into the production hall and the first thing you notice is that all 8 dipping lines run on automated conveyor systems — no manual dipping, no operator-dependent thickness variation.

Automated Dipping Lines

Each line pulls ceramic hand formers through a nitrile compound bath at a controlled speed, with bath temperature held to ±1°C and compound viscosity monitored continuously. That's how we hold the 0.08–0.15mm thickness tolerance across a full production run, not just across a sample set.

In-House Compounding Lab

We mix our own nitrile compound rather than buying pre-mixed from a third-party supplier. This matters for two reasons: we can adjust formulation for specific performance requirements (accelerator-free compound for sensitization-sensitive markets, higher-acrylonitrile content for chemical resistance grades), and we're not dependent on a supplier's batch consistency.

Most glove factories that use third-party compound don't realize their AQL variance is a compounding problem, not a dipping problem — we learned that early.

Online Pinhole Detection

Online pinhole detection runs on every line. Each glove passes through an electrical leak test before it reaches the stripping station. Gloves that fail are pulled automatically — they don't reach the counting and packing stage. This is the checkpoint that keeps your AQL results clean at destination, not just at our outgoing inspection.

8 automated nitrile dipping lines in the 18,000 m² production facility

The 18,000 m² facility gives us enough floor space to run all 8 lines simultaneously with dedicated staging areas for raw materials, in-process inventory, and finished goods — your 2-million-piece order doesn't sit in a corridor waiting for a packing station to open up.

Three-Stage Inspection Process

1

Incoming Raw Materials

Nitrile compound, chemical additives, and packaging materials are sampled and tested against specification before they enter production. We check compound viscosity, pH, and chemical composition on every incoming batch. Material that doesn't meet spec doesn't go to the line.

2

In-Process Inspection

Two checkpoints per line per shift: a dimensional check (thickness at palm, finger, and cuff) and a visual inspection for surface defects. Our QC team pulls samples every two hours. If a line drifts outside tolerance, it stops — we don't run out-of-spec product and sort it later.

3

Outgoing Inspection

AQL 1.5 across 100% of production lots. Every finished carton is sampled before it's palletized for shipment.

The AQL 1.5 standard is tighter than the AQL 2.5 that many factories use as their default — it means fewer defective units reach your warehouse, and fewer complaints reach your customers.

AQL 1.5
Environmental & Social

Sustainability and Compliance

Our production process is solvent-free. Nitrile dipping uses water-based compound, so there's no VOC emission from the dipping process itself. Wastewater from the compound mixing and line cleaning goes through an on-site treatment system before discharge — this is a standard requirement for Shandong province manufacturing facilities, and we've maintained compliance since the facility opened.

Packaging materials are sourced from suppliers who provide material safety data sheets and food-contact compliance documentation where required. For buyers whose customers operate in regulated procurement environments — European public health tenders, US government supply contracts — we can provide full supply chain documentation on request.

Worker safety standards follow Chinese national GB standards for chemical handling and PPE use in manufacturing, with annual third-party audits as part of our ISO 9001 renewal cycle.

R&D & Formulation

In-House Formulation: The R&D Capability That Changes Your SKU Options

The compounding lab isn't just a quality control tool — it's where we develop new SKUs. Our formulation team, led by a chemist with 15+ years in polymer compounding for medical disposables, handles three types of development work.

Standard Formulation Optimization

Adjusting cure profile to improve tensile strength without increasing thickness — performance gains without cost penalty.

Custom OEM Formulation

Specific color from a Pantone reference, specific elongation-at-break targets, specific chemical resistance profiles — spec sheet issued under your brand name.

Accelerator-Free Development

For the sensitization-sensitive medical market — dedicated line, sulfur-donor cure system, no detectable accelerator residue, EN 455 compliant.

Why Accelerator-Free Nitrile Matters for European Healthcare

Standard nitrile gloves use thiuram and carbamate accelerators in the vulcanization process. These accelerators are the primary cause of Type IV allergic reactions in healthcare workers — a growing compliance concern in European hospital procurement.

We run accelerator-free compound on a dedicated line, using a sulfur-donor cure system instead. The resulting glove passes EN 455 and carries no detectable accelerator residue.

For distributors supplying European hospital groups or dental networks, this is a specification that opens procurement doors that standard nitrile can't enter. This segment has grown steadily since 2019 — it's worth building into your SKU mix if you're targeting European healthcare.

OEM & ODM Private Label

If you're building a private-label line, we can develop a custom formulation, match a target color from a Pantone reference, and produce a specification sheet under your brand name. All OEM and ODM projects are handled through the same compounding lab.

MOQ for custom formulation: One 40HQ container — approximately 2,000 boxes for standard examination glove SKUs.

Our People

The Team Running the Lines

The production and quality functions are led by people who have been in this specific manufacturing category for a long time. Our chief production engineer has 18 years in nitrile and latex dipping operations — he came up through line supervision before moving into process engineering, so he understands where the variation actually comes from, not just what the spec sheet says it should be.

The QC manager previously worked in medical device inspection before joining us, which is why our inspection documentation is structured to satisfy both ISO 9001 auditors and FDA import reviewers.

Our compounding chemist has been with us since 2011, which means the formulation knowledge isn't sitting in a consultant's notebook somewhere — it's in-house and available for your OEM project.
