Finding reliable glove suppliers in Peru can be difficult. You need a partner who understands safety standards. Here are five local companies to help you start your search.

The key is to find companies that specialize in hand protection and can prove their products meet safety standards. Companies like RG Seguridad, R&G Indumentaria, and others offer various PPE, including some hand protection options for the Peruvian market.

Top Cut-Resistant Gloves for Industrial Use.

I often talk to PPE procurement managers, like my friend Mr. Stenning in Europe, who are looking to expand their supply chain. Sourcing locally in a market like Peru has its benefits, like potentially faster shipping for in-stock items. But it’s important to know what you’re looking for, especially when it comes to critical safety gear like cut-resistant gloves. You need to know if you’re talking to a true specialist or a general supplier. Let’s look at some of the players in the Peruvian market so you can see what’s available and make a smart choice for your business.

Is RG Seguridad Industrial a Specialist in High-Performance Cut Protection?

You need durable gloves for tough industries like mining or construction. General suppliers may not have the right focus. RG Seguridad says it specializes in leather gloves for these sectors.

RG Seguridad Industrial E.I.R.L. is a Lima-based manufacturer with over 15 years of experience. They focus primarily on leather gloves for heavy industries. While they are specialists in leather, their range of modern, high-performance anti-cut gloves might be limited.

When I review a supplier, the first thing I look at is their core focus. RG Seguridad¹ has a clear specialty: leather gloves. This is great for applications needing high abrasion resistance, like handling rough materials in construction or mining. For years, leather was the standard. However, the world of hand protection has changed a lot. Today, true cut resistance comes from engineered yarns. We use materials like HPPE (High-Performance Polyethylene²), steel fiber, and basalt fiber in our gloves. These materials are what allow a glove to achieve a high ANSI Cut Level, like A4 or A5, which protects against serious hazards. Leather alone typically does not provide this level of certified cut protection. So, if your customers work with sharp metal, glass, or blades, you have to ask: Is a leather specialist the right partner, or do you need a manufacturer who specializes in modern, certified anti-cut materials?

Does R&G Indumentaria Offer the Industrial-Grade Gloves You Need?

Your customers might work in different sectors, from food to industrial. Finding one supplier for all can be tricky. R&G Indumentaria serves food, hospital, and industrial sectors.

With over 14 years in the business, R&G Indumentaria focuses on varied sectors including food and medical. They highlight innovative features like nanotechnology. For industrial buyers, the key is verifying if their industrial line meets specific, high-level cut-resistance standards like ANSI/ISEA 105.

Food-grade safety gloves.

I see that R&G puts a lot of focus on technology, like antibacterial features and eco-friendly products. This is very important, especially for the food and hospital clients they serve. For my business, where I support PPE wholesalers like you, the main concern is industrial safety and performance. The needs are very different. A food-grade glove needs to prevent contamination, while an industrial cut-resistant glove needs to prevent a serious injury. A glove with an ANSI A6 cut rating³, for example, is built with a complex, strong liner and often has a specialized coating like sandy nitrile for grip in oily environments. While a supplier might serve many industries, as a purchasing manager, you need to dig deeper. You should ask for technical data sheets and certifications for their industrial gloves to ensure they meet the heavy-duty protection your customers demand. Generalists can be good, but specialists give you confidence in high-risk situations.

Is Industrial Mega SAC (IMEGA) a Manufacturer or a Distributor?

You want to source efficiently. A supplier’s business model matters. IMEGA manufactures some products and also imports and distributes others, which can make things complicated.

Industrial Mega SAC, or IMEGA, has been in the Peruvian market for over 15 years. They manufacture leather PPE but also act as an importer and distributor for international brands. This hybrid model means you must clarify if you are buying directly from the source or through a middleman.

PPE Distribution Warehouse.

This is a very common model I see around the world. My friend Emily, a procurement manager, often tells me her biggest challenge is supply chain transparency. When you work with a company that is both a manufacturer and a distributor, you have to ask a critical question: For the specific glove I need, are you the factory or are you just reselling it? If they are importing the high-performance cut-resistant gloves, it means you are paying an extra margin. It also means less control. As a direct manufacturer, we handle everything from designing the glove to shipping it. If a client needs a custom grip or a different cuff length, we can do it. When you work with a distributor, these custom changes are often impossible. For a wholesaler who wants to build their own brand and control costs, working directly with an OEM/ODM manufacturer⁴ is almost always the better long-term strategy.

Can Industria de Seguridad El Progreso Meet Your Specific Safety Needs?

The supplier’s information is vague. They make "articles of industrial protection." You need specific, certified gloves, not general safety items. This lack of detail is a red flag.

Industria de Seguridad El Progreso is listed as a manufacturer of industrial protection articles, including safety gloves. However, without a detailed catalog or specific product information, it is difficult to determine their expertise in certified, high-performance cut-resistant gloves.

Undefined Safety Glove Specifications.

When I see a description like "manufacturing of articles of protection industrial," my professional curiosity is triggered. To me, that is too broad. As a specialist in hand protection, I know there is a huge difference between a simple canvas glove and an ANSI A9-rated glove⁵ for extreme cut hazards. As a purchasing manager, you can’t afford to guess. You need details. What materials do they use? What are the EN388 or ANSI/ISEA 105 ratings for their gloves? Do they have ISO 9001 certification⁶ for their factory? These are the questions that separate a professional PPE manufacturer from a general workshop. We build our entire reputation on these details. We provide technical sheets, test reports, and certificates for every product because we know that’s what you need to win contracts and protect workers. Always push for specifics.

Is a Distributor Like Ra Peru SAC Your Best Option?

You see a distributor offering top international brands. This seems like a simple solution. But this convenience often comes at a higher cost and with less flexibility.

Ra Peru SAC is a distributor for recognized international PPE brands. They can provide access to specialized, certified products. However, as a wholesaler, buying from another distributor adds a layer to the supply chain, which can increase your costs and limit customization options.

Distributor and Wholesaler Agreement.

Working with a local distributor like Ra Peru definitely has its advantages. They handle the importation, customs, and logistics for you, which can be convenient if you need a small quantity of a specific branded product quickly. But for a PPE wholesaler⁷, your business model is based on volume and value. When you buy from a distributor, you are buying from a company that has already marked up the price from the original manufacturer. This cuts into your profit margin. Furthermore, you have no direct line to the people who actually make the product. You can’t ask for a special coating for a customer in the auto industry or develop a unique glove for your brand. Working directly with a manufacturer like us means you are the importer. You control the product design, you control the quality, and you get the best possible price because there is no one in the middle. It is the most effective way to grow your business.

So, How Do You Choose the Right Hand Protection Partner?

Choosing a supplier feels overwhelming. Make the wrong choice, and you risk worker safety and your budget. Here’s a simple framework to help you decide wisely.

Focus on suppliers who can provide certified products (ANSI/EN 388) and demonstrate expertise in your specific industry. Compare manufacturers against distributors. A direct manufacturing partner often offers better value, customization, and quality control for your business.

How to Choose a PPE Supplier.

When I advise wholesalers on sourcing, I tell them to look beyond the product list and evaluate the partner. A good partner helps you grow. The Peruvian companies listed are a good starting point for local options, but you should measure every potential supplier against a clear set of criteria. I use a simple table to think about this.

Ultimately, your goal is to find a partner who helps you deliver the best possible value and safety to your market.

Conclusion

Choosing the right glove supplier is crucial for your business. Look for a certified, specialized manufacturing partner to ensure quality, value, and safety for your customers and workers.
