Towa gloves

In 1947, Hajime Watanabe established what became the forerunner of Towa Corporation in Kurume, Japan. Kurume, located in Southern Japan, has been known throughout the world due to being the birthplace of many rubber products.

Domestic SuccessIn the years that followed, Towa Corporation became a household name in Japan and it still holds that reputation today. As the years went by, the range of Towa gloves grew to serve many industries. Soon enough, Towa’s gloves were used all over Japan, from the cold northern island of Hokkaido to the hot southern island of Okinawa.

Becoming A Global PlayerAs many Japanese companies did, Towa started to expand its business globally. In the early 80`s the first foreign factory was opened in Malaysia and gloves were soon exported worldwide. Nowadays, Towa gloves can be found in every part of the world.
With two overseas offices, four overseas factories and over 50 distributors worldwide, Towa has become one of the top glove manufacturers in the world and a premium glove supplier.

FutureNever satisfied, Towa Corporation continues to develop new types of gloves and technologies. Towa Corporation remains true to its roots by putting the user first; a philosophy that made Towa Corporation into what it is today and, is reflected in its slogan; Design and Performance that work.
