As an independent unit, SWSS will leverage Shen Wei USA's more than 30 years of success in developing single-use gloves for barrier protection both on the inside and out, while focusing on strategic initiatives to expand total hand health innovations.
Belle Chou, SW Safety Solutions CEO and president, noted, "Good business is about taking care of your customer, a principle we've embraced for the past three decades. We pride ourselves on developing innovative products and on our integrity to form true partnerships in the industry. This will continue at Shen Wei USA as well as at SWSS."
Chou continued, "Protection, comfort, skin care and consistent performance—these are the concerns of our customers, so we've always geared our products to meet these needs. Tom and Bob genuinely share this vision of providing the best in customer service and continued innovation."
Currently CMO at SWSS, Thomas Draskovics most recently served as president and general manager for Ansell's specialty markets GBU (global business unit). He brings with him a long track record of successful business leadership and strategic marketing across a broad range of B-to-B industries.
During his tenure, Draskovics successfully lead the transformation and expansion of a global PPE (personal protection equipment) business through the introduction of innovative new products, new vertical development and strategic marketing and brand leadership.
Bob Gaither joined SWSS as CCO. Previously, Gaither was senior vice president and regional director for North America at Ansell, where he amassed over 35 years of hand protection experience in the industrial and medical markets.
Gaither was also instrumental in leading the charge to enhance customer value by leveraging six sigma process and tools, capitalizing on key growth verticals as well as improving efficiencies and customer service.
SWSS, a privately-held, woman-owned company, has made a solid commitment to future innovation through research and development as well as expanding core competencies to ensure that reliable, safe hand protection for its users is at the forefront.
Chou continued, "Building out our hand health initiatives through SWSS means relying on our rich history of developing glove technologies that promote comfort, skin health and personal safety. Combining this history with the deep industry knowledge both Tom and Bob possess puts SWSS in the ideal position to develop the next generation of reliable, trusted hand healthcare products."
SW Safety Solution's patented ACTIValoe® aloe vera-based interior glove lining that heals and moisturizes dry, chapped hands has been used in 11 billion gloves worldwide and its innovative pH 5.5 coating restores the user's natural pH, reducing the risk of skin irritation.
