USMGC’s mission focus is based on 3 things: highest quality glove production at scale through USMGC’s own state-of-the-art high-tech manufacturing glove machines and ultimately, domestically sourced chemicals.
USMGC provides a unique pathway to critical supply chain security ensuring a bridge for onshoring value chains, catalyze new jobs, economic development, and climate change solutions including a focus on the creation of biopolymers.
