WHO ARE WE

Kanam Latex Industries Pvt. Ltd. is India’s leading manufacturer of surgical gloves. Established in 1986, the latex surgical gloves factory has an installed capacity of over 560 million pairs of gloves per year, manufacturing a range of surgical and examination gloves. Besides being the market leader in India, we also export worldwide. Kanam is part of the esteemed Ooppoottil Group, which has a rich legacy in the rubber industry. The group’s journey began with the establishment of Velimalai Rubber Company in 1944, pioneering rubber plantations, and expanded further with Kurian Abraham Pvt. Ltd. in 1955, specializing in the manufacturing of centrifuge latex. This strong foundation has enabled Kanam to become a trusted name in quality gloves production.

Today, Kanam’s gloves are synonymous with the highest standards of quality, enjoying market leadership in India. Additionally, we export globally to destinations including the U.S.A, South and Central America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

An impeccable pair of gloves, a Protective Second Skin that gives the wearer an extra sense of safety and comfort – this is precisely what the company offers, having achieved it through its total commitment to quality. Stringent quality standards have earned the company prestigious certifications, including ISO 13485, CE Certification, registration with the U.S.F.D.A. (510K), PPE, and ISI Certification.
