At Watson Gloves, our mission is to elevate the glove industry with innovative and sustainable hand protection by protecting the people who work with us, the customers who buy from us and our environment in which we live in.
Rooted in Greater Vancouver since 1918, our glove factory is a testament to the talent found throughout the lower mainland. Our factory team is comprised of talented craftspeople, each passionate about creating quality products, and building on a legacy of over 100 years of glove making.
A Strong Sense of Community
In our Canadian factory, we are more than just a team – we are a family. As a proud family-owned business under the leadership of the Moore family, we emphasize a balanced work-life culture and provide a nurturing work environment. Our dedication to these values has earned us the certification for exceptional workplace culture from The Canadian Workplace Culture Index.
Our familial spirit is further cemented through events like our lively annual tailgate BBQ, festive Christmas parties, and the shared anticipation of the winter rush. The cornerstone of our high-quality gloves is our dedicated team, that’s truly the heartbeat of our business.
