Towa Gloves: Harmony, Integrity, and Advancement
Towa Gloves are already a household name is Japan and fast becoming one across the rest of the world. From heavy duty work gloves to lighter gardening gloves, they lead the market in providing a firm and steady grip.
Seventy Years Of Gloves
Renowned across the globe for their rubber products, the city of Kurme in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, is also the home of the Towa Corporation. Founded by Hajime Watanabe in 1947 as Toko Shokai, the company quickly grew into a household name across the length of Japan.
Towa's growth didn't stop there. In the 1980s, after opening their first overseas factory in Malaysia, Towa began to export their gloves globally. Today they run four overseas factories, work with over fifty distributors and maintain a global reputation for supplying premium gloves.
