New Ohio MSA Manufacturing Hub, For Medical and Surgical Glove Supply Chain

USMGC’s Adds New Ohio MSA Manufacturing Hub, Completing Fully Onshored Medical and Surgical Glove Supply Chain USMGC to make $200-$240 million private investment in Cincinnati facility Acquisition complements USMGC’s existing operations in Honea Path, South Carolina, where it produces polyisoprene USMGC, which successfully fulfilled its $63.6 million capacity building contract from the U.S. government in Q1 of 2025, remains the only nitrile glove manufacturer to meet the stringent requirements established by its government contract HARVARD, Ill., May 2, 2025 – U.S. Medical Glove Company (USMGC), the only American manufacturer of the machinery, chemicals, and materials required to produce both nitrile and polyisoprene gloves, proudly announced today the execution of a master lease for a 638,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Ohio, managed by CAI Investments LLC. This critical move marks the final phase in USMGC’s mission to build and secure a 100% American-made medical and surgical glove supply chain—free from reliance on China or any foreign supplier. At a time when global instability and unfair trade practices continue to threaten the availability of essential healthcare products, USMGC is leading the charge to restore American manufacturing leadership. With this new facility, the United States will have the sovereign capacity to produce its own gloves, on its own soil, using its own machines, raw materials, and workforce. The facility will place a significant emphasis on the manufacturing of USA-made NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber), the critical raw material used in nitrile glove production, but it will also be a hub to produce surgical and specialty gloves. This acquisition complements USMGC’s existing operations in Honea Path, South Carolina, where it produces polyisoprene, the essential raw material used in surgical glove manufacturing. Together, the South Carolina and Ohio facilities allow USMGC to fully control and domestically produce the raw materials required for both nitrile medical exam gloves and polyisoprene surgical gloves, completing an end-to-end American supply chain for the nation’s critical glove needs. In addition to producing its own NBR on-site—ensuring greater supply chain control and cost efficiency (saving approximately $20 million per year in shipping costs from Asia alone)—the facility will also house 18 state-of-the-art surgical and specialty glove production machines. These lines are expected to increase revenue and profit margins, as well as total glove production capacity. While the primary focus will be on surgical glove manufacturing, the facility will also produce nitrile medical exam gloves and a diverse range of specialty gloves to meet the demands of both healthcare and industrial sectors. “With this acquisition, USMGC now controls every step of surgical glove production—from raw materials to finished gloves—right here in America,” says Lucas Muriello, CFO of USMGC. “That means faster turnaround times and greater quality assurance, as well as a safer, more secure and dependable future for America’s frontline workers. It also means an end to the reliance on China and other foreign suppliers.” The facility, which includes 15 railcar spots, 25 MW of power capacity, and a valid Air Quality Permit from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, will undergo a multi-phase transformation with an estimated $200 to $240 million investment. The facility will produce: Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) Surgical over- and under-gloves made from advanced polymers Medical-use polymers Sterile IV bag systems USMGC was the only company to fulfill a $63.6 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to expand glove manufacturing in the U.S. That contract was successfully completed in Q1 of 2025. The new facility adds to USMGC’s national network: Harvard, IL: 350-acre HQ campus; over 2 billion glove annual capacity Honea Path, SC: 100,000 square-foot chemical plant (USMCC division); 120 million gloves annually from polyisoprene produced onsite USMGC is powered by a skilled American workforce of engineers, welders, and support personnel, aligning with federal efforts to re-industrialize American manufacturing. “We’re not just investing in infrastructure—we’re investing in people,” adds Muriello. “This Ohio site has a rich legacy of American innovation. We’re honored to bring it back to life at a pivotal moment for the Cincinnati region and the country.” Read the full release on the wire.

Reindustrializing American Manufacturing with Made-in-America Nitrile Gloves

How U.S. Medical Glove Company Is Reindustrializing American Manufacturing with Made-in-America Nitrile Gloves This is the USMGC story. It’s a Made-in-America success story about independence, innovation, self-reliance, and the restoration of the industrial capacity that built America. We’re honored to have our story narrated by the legendary TV journalist and news anchor, Bill Kurtis. Read the transcript below.     [Transcript]  Each day, at this newly refurbished factory on the Wisconsin/Illinois border, American workers make nearly 7 million nitrile gloves – on American-made machines – with chemicals and components produced on American soil.  These gloves protect the people who protect Americans.  In 2024, US Medical Glove Company’s annual capability is 2 point 5 billion gloves. In 2025 our capacity is expected to more than double.  But we are more than a glove company.  We are an engineering company, a chemistry company, and a technology company. We have completely re-imagined glove production and are on a mission to re-industrialize American manufacturing. During the pandemic, foreign powers controlled the PPE supply – blocking American access and endangering lives.  The Department of Defense and the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response moved quickly to onshore PPE production and secure the nitrile glove supply chain.  USMGC is meeting that mission and taking it a step further – positioning America to become the world leader in PPE production.  Our first priority was to make the world’s most advanced glove-making machine – engineered and fabricated in-house.  Our machines are 80% smaller and 90% lighter than conventional machines. They require a 10th of the energy and 100% of the water is recycled using our proprietary system.  We took control of the entire supply chain.  Chemicals and components exported almost exclusively from Asia are now 100% American-made.  Our stripping machines, layering machines, and sub-assemblies are all made in-house.  And we make our own parts with 3-D printers and robotic CNC machines.  We even build and wire our own panels.  Each step in the process is led by American workers powered with the latest laser and robotic technology. Our machines are in high demand here in the U-S and in allied countries. Our team can ship and assemble anywhere in the world in a matter of days.  This Made-in-America success story isn’t just about innovation.     It’s about self-reliance.   Outmaneuvering American adversaries.     Restoring and supercharging the industrial capacity that built America.     With American-made jobs that we can be proud of.
