A manufacturer, not a middleman.
Niro-S is the safety-glove brand of Friedrich Münch GmbH & Co. KG in Mühlacker, Baden-Württemberg. Münch is a manufacturer, not a pure importer, and is run as a family business now in its second and third generation.
Its roots reach back to 1920, then in the processing of metal mesh. In 1968 Münch built the world's first safety glove made of welded stainless-steel ring mesh. Out of this metalworking, a broad range of safety gloves has grown over the decades.
Protection and comfort thought together.
Niro-S stands for industrial safety gloves with the aim of combining effective cut protection with a good wearing feel. The range spans from very light, sensitive models for precision work to robust, wear-resistant cut-protection gloves.
Depending on the use, they are coated with nitrile, latex, polyurethane or split cowhide leather, on fine knit in 13, 15 or 18 gauge. The gloves are used in metalworking, automotive, construction, electrical, food, logistics, mechanical engineering and many other fields.
What the standards mean.
Every glove carries tested performance levels to European standards, which you will find on each product page. In brief:
Basic requirements for all protective gloves: harmlessness, fit, dexterity and standardised sizes.
Protection against mechanical risks. Five test values: abrasion, cut (coupe test), tear, puncture and the ISO cut level A to F. Higher is better, X means not tested.
Protection against cold, tested for convective and contact cold as well as water penetration. Relevant for the winter models.
Protection against thermal risks and heat, split into several test categories from brief contact to greater heat exposure.
Electrostatic properties. Important in the ESD area, for example in electronics manufacturing, where charges must be avoided.
