Sri Trang Gloves stretches operations in US with new subsidiary

The subsidiary will serve as the US sales and distribution office.

SGX secondary-listed Sri Trang Gloves Company Limited (STGT) will expand its sales and distribution in the US after putting up its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sri Trang Responsible Gloves Supply (STRG) in Chicago.

The glove manufacturer said its new subsidiary will complement its other US-based company, Sri Trang USA, which is operating as a warehouse and distribution centre in Florida.

STRG will help Sri Trang Glove’s customer base amongst the original equipment manufacturer industry and larger third-party distributors.

STGT CEO Jarinya Jirojkul, said strong demand for gloves in the US will offer good growth opportunities for their company.

“The establishment of STRG will enable us to engage existing and prospective customers more effectively as we look to capture a larger slice of the American pie,” he said.

Last year, the disposable glove market worldwide amounted to $17.3b (US$12.3b) and the US, the world’s largest market, accounted for 33% of the total revenue share.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
