Granberg® work gloves were first introduced in 1961, more than 50 years ago. Today, Granberg has grown into a leading manufacturer of gloves, meeting the numerous needs of an ever-increasing and highly demanding oil and gas industry. The company's headquarters are located in the very heart of Europe's oil production in Norway. Its clients request protection from bitter cold, cuts, impacts, punctures, sparks, heat, vibrations and dangerous liquids and chemicals. Granberg offers glove solutions for all climates, from Angola to Alaska. Intelligently engineered offshore gloves The success of Granberg's product development and product portfolio can be traced back to its experienced research and development team and its close customer relationships. The company's chief engineer also holds a master's degree in polymers and textiles, with credentials also including a PhD in Materials Engineering. He has worked for several years as an associate professor at Kaunas University of Technology, and has extensive knowledge of materials science as well as working with high magnification and resolution microscopy images of innovative materials. This has led to the development of intelligent designs, with ultimate ergonomics engineered with pride and perfection. Gloves to drastically reduce cut injuries Hand injuries are some of the most costly and common injuries within the offshore industry. Replacing an oil rig worker undergoing medical care as a result of a hand injury can easily cost as much as $20,000. Granberg offers intelligent glove solutions to drastically reduce hand injuries drastically, thereby reducing unnecessary expenses. The company not only helps to reduce costs for the employer, but also prevents mishaps and dangers to the worker. A small cut injury can cause long-term tendon or nerve damage that a person has to live with for the rest of their life. Granberg has developed a new cut-resistant super textile that provides gloves with the ultimate comfort combined with the highest possible cut protection, exceeding CE/EN 388 level 5 cut resistance. Granberg offers one of the world's most cost-effective and innovative glove solutions for offshore workers. Gloves with superior impact protection Some of the major offshore occupational safety concerns are hazards associated with impacts and falling objects. The state-of-the-art patented impact design and high-quality materials of Granberg gloves reduce strain over prolonged periods of use, yet provide excellent protection from impacts. The company offers unlined gloves, lined gloves and even liquid-proof gloves with impact protection. High-grip gloves Granberg offers different grip materials for its offshore gloves to ensure maximum safety as you work with slippery tools and climbing ladders, etc. At oil and gas installations there is a constant presence of lubricating fluids, grease and oil-based muds. A good grip is essential when working in such demanding and dangerous environments. Granberg wants to make sure that poor grip is never the cause of reduced output or injuries. Work gloves with perfect fit As well as never compromising with safety, Granberg is very serious when it comes to glove fitting. The sizing and pattern of the company's gloves is left to highly sophisticated computer technology, enabling Granberg to guarantee a perfect fit. Every finger has the right length and width, offering a level of comfort that only Granberg gloves can give. Vibration-reducing gloves Granberg's research and development team has just developed a new vibration-reducing work glove, certified to ISO 10819. The glove's flexibility, comfort and design surpass existing vibration-reducing gloves. A lot of workers exposed to vibrations still refuse to wear such protective speciality gloves due to stiffness and lack of comfort. Granberg has taken into consideration all imaginable wishes from offshore workers needing protection from vibration hazards, and also made the gloves one of the most cost-effective solutions available on the market.
