Eagle was founded in New Zealand in 2006, growing rapidly to now supply approximately 80% of the primary food processing Industry in New Zealand with responsibly sourced disposable gloves and protective clothing. The founder of Eagle, Steve Ardagh, relocated to the US in January 2016, with the intent of bringing Eagle's advanced philosophy around the supply of disposable clothing to the US food processing and service sectors.

Our business has been founded on honesty and integrity, only sourcing our products from like-minded manufacturers. Having visited many glove manufacturing factories with poor hygiene and labor conditions, we have grown in our desire to only work with those factories who look after their workers, contribute to their communities, and reduce their environmental impact.

Eagle has been a certified B Corporation® since 2012 and is the world’s only disposable glove and clothing specialist to be B Corp™ certified!

Our Factories' Distinction 

A key part of our supply chain is to visit our manufacturers regularly to check product manufacturing standards, quality controls, worker conditions and their environmental impact.

In addition, we audit our factories through our Supplier Code of Conduct, which measures labor conditions, environmental impact, and quality control. Before partnering with any new suppliers, they must pass our audit process - a key part of our supply chain.

We were proud to be Child Labor Free certified to a Manufacturing Level for a specific range of our products, further assurance to our customers that our products have been sourced ethically, protecting their reputation. Unfortunately, as of December 2020, the organization behind Child Labor Free has ceased offering accreditation renewals.

Other independent third-party social/ethical audits conducted on our behalf continue to screen for child labor, and assess general labor and environmental conditions.
