DPL Protective Handwear

DPL, formerly known as Dipped Products PLC, is a global powerhouse in the protective handwear industry. Established in 1976 in Sri Lanka, the brand has grown into one of the world's leading manufacturers of natural and synthetic latex-based gloves. Their extensive portfolio covers a wide range of applications, including industrial safety, medical, household, and specialized sectors like sports and electrical work.

The company maintains a significant manufacturing presence in Asia, primarily operating five high-capacity facilities in Sri Lanka and one in Thailand. This strategic positioning allows them to manage a fully integrated supply chain—from the sourcing of raw materials through their own rubber plantations to the final production of advanced protective equipment. DPL is part of the Hayleys PLC group, one of Sri Lanka's largest and most diversified conglomerates, which provides the corporate backing for its global operations and distribution to over 70 countries.
