RAF Safety – Safety Gloves Manufacturer Supplying Saudi Arabia Direct From Factory
When businesses across Saudi Arabia’s oil and gas, construction, and manufacturing sectors need premium-quality leather work gloves, they increasingly turn to RAF Safety – not just as a distributor, but as the manufacturer. RAF Safety (AL TAQARIR TRADING CO, LTD.) operates its own leather gloves manufacturing facility in Pakistan, where cow split leather gloves, TIG welding gloves, MIG welding gloves, heavy-duty work gloves, and a full range of protective hand wear are produced under strict quality control to CE marking and EN388 certification standards.
This factory-direct manufacturing capability gives RAF Safety a unique advantage in the Saudi Arabian PPE market. Rather than importing gloves through multiple layers of trading companies and paying markup at each step, Saudi procurement managers who buy directly from RAF Safety benefit from A-grade and A+ quality products at prices that reflect the actual cost of production – not the cost of a supply chain with four middlemen.
Our Leather Glove Manufacturing Capability
RAF Safety’s Pakistan manufacturing facility specialises in leather hand protection for industrial applications. Our production capabilities include:
- Cow Split Leather Work Gloves: Made from Grade A and A+ quality cow split leather, these gloves provide excellent abrasion resistance, flexibility, and durability for general industrial applications, construction, and assembly work. Available in natural tan and fluorescent green finishes.
- TIG Welding Gloves (Short and Long Cuff): Manufactured from soft goat leather for the dexterity required in Tungsten Inert Gas welding. Short cuff models for precision work; long cuff models for forearm protection in higher-exposure welding environments.
- MIG/MAG Welding Gloves: Heavier construction in split leather with reinforced palm and thumb for the higher heat and spatter exposure of MIG welding operations. Available in red with white, red with black, and yellow piping variants to meet contractor colour-coding requirements.
- Heavy-Duty Leather Working Gloves: Multiple variants including BF, AS, CP, STP, and ML models for different application requirements – from light general handling to heavy fabrication and construction.
- Leather Welding Jackets, Aprons, Sleeves, and Shoe Covers: Our manufacturing capability extends beyond gloves to a complete leather welding protection range for body, arm, and foot protection.
CE Marking and EN388 Certification
All leather gloves manufactured under the RAF Safety brand meet the requirements of EN388 – the European standard for Protective Gloves Against Mechanical Risks, covering abrasion resistance, blade cut resistance, tear resistance, and puncture resistance. Our gloves carry CE marking under EU Regulation 2016/425, Category II classification, backed by Notified Body test reports.
For Saudi Aramco, SABIC, and Royal Commission contractors in Al Jubail and Dammam who require documented PPE compliance, RAF Safety can provide declarations of conformity and EN388 test certificates on request – something a generic distributor cannot offer because they do not own the production process.
Why Procurement Managers Choose Factory-Direct from RAF Safety
In Saudi Arabia’s competitive PPE market, procurement managers who have made the switch from distributor-sourced to RAF Safety factory-direct gloves consistently report three advantages:
- Price: Factory-direct pricing on leather gloves is typically 15–25% lower than purchasing the same grade product through an importer-distributor chain. For a construction company buying 5,000 pairs of work gloves per year, this difference is significant at scale.
- Consistency: Because we control the manufacturing process, we can guarantee batch consistency – the same leather grade, stitching quality, and sizing from order to order. Distributors often switch between suppliers based on pricing, leading to quality variation across orders that causes compliance issues during PPE audits.
- Customisation: Large-volume customers can request custom specifications – specific leather grades, colour combinations, logo embossing, or size distributions – that are simply not available through standard distribution channels. This is particularly valued by large EPC contractors running multi-site mobilisations across the Kingdom.
