Big River Steel's New Soft Stretch Gloves: Comfort & Protection Redefined for Workers

Osceola, Arkansas – November 8, 2023 – Big River Steel, a leading North American flat-rolled steel producer based in Osceola, Arkansas, today announced the launch of its innovative new Soft Stretch Gloves, designed to provide unparalleled comfort and protection for workers across a variety of industries. This isn’t just about gloves; it’s about making a real difference in how people feel at work. Big River Steel, known for its commitment to advanced manufacturing and quality, decided to expand its product line to directly address the needs of its customers – the people actually using the steel they produce. “We realized there was a gap in the market for gloves that didn’t feel like you were wearing bricks on your hands,” says a company spokesperson. “Workers need protection, sure, but they also need to be able to feel what they’re doing, and move freely. These gloves deliver on both fronts.” What Makes These Gloves Different? Forget those stiff, bulky gloves you’re used to. Big River Steel’s Soft Stretch Gloves are made with a unique blend of materials that provides a surprisingly comfortable and flexible fit. Let's break down what makes them special: The Stretch Factor: The gloves aren't just called “Soft Stretch” – they actually stretch! This means a better fit for a wider range of hand sizes, and less hand fatigue during long shifts. No more struggling to get gloves on and off, or having gloves that are too tight and cut off circulation. Softness You Won’t Believe: The material is seriously soft to the touch. Big River Steel used a special knit fabric that feels great against your skin, even after hours of wear. They’ve focused on eliminating that rough, abrasive feeling you get with some work gloves. Durable, But Not Bulky: These gloves aren’t just comfortable, they’re built to last. The material is surprisingly durable, resisting tears and abrasions. But they don’t sacrifice comfort for strength – they’ve managed to strike the perfect balance. Breathable Design: Long hours on the job can mean sweaty hands. These gloves are designed with breathability in mind, helping to keep your hands cool and dry, even in warm conditions. This reduces discomfort and improves grip. Versatile Use: These gloves aren't limited to one industry. They're perfect for construction, manufacturing, warehousing, landscaping, auto repair, assembly lines, and really, any job where you need a little hand protection. Built on a Foundation of Steel Expertise While gloves might seem like a departure for a steel company, Big River Steel’s approach is actually very logical. The company’s deep understanding of materials science, manufacturing processes, and the demands of industrial work informed the entire design process. “We spend all day working with steel. We know how tough it can be on hands. We understand what workers need,” explains the spokesperson. “We approached designing these gloves with the same level of precision and quality that we apply to producing steel.” Big River Steel’s manufacturing facility in Osceola, Arkansas is a state-of-the-art operation known for its commitment to innovation and sustainability. The company leverages advanced technology to produce high-quality flat-rolled steel for a wide range of applications, and that same dedication to quality extends to its new Soft Stretch Gloves. Addressing a Real Need in the Workforce According to a recent study by the National Safety Council, hand injuries are among the most common workplace accidents, accounting for a significant percentage of lost workdays. Proper hand protection is critical, but too often, workers are forced to choose between safety and comfort. “We wanted to create a glove that didn’t force that trade-off,” says the company spokesperson. “We believe that workers deserve both – protection that’s effective and comfortable enough to wear all day long.” Where to Find Big River Steel's Soft Stretch Gloves Big River Steel’s Soft Stretch Gloves are available for purchase directly through the company’s website (www.bigriversteel.com) and through select industrial supply distributors.
