Established in Sri Lanka in 1992 John Ward Ceylon is a privately owned manufacturing business, owned and managed by Fazal Abdeen, Howard Goth and John Taylor.

An independent business with over 900 personnel, JWC only sells and markets the products it manufactures in its 15,000 square metre facility in the Export Free Trade Zone near to the International Airport at Katunayake.

JWC Manufactures a comprehensive range of traditional two-piece coated gloves in a variety of polymers and lattices, but the recent introduction of Maxiflex, Maxicool and Maxifoam have propelled JWC to the forefront in glove coating technology by creating a new market of super light foam coated work gloves.

MaxiFlex, MaxiCool, MaxiGuard Foam, MaxiFit and Zormax Foam are the latest “foam” coated work gloves which do not use any harmful solvents such as di methyl formamide and are produced by an innovative patent protected process (Patent Number 2 400 051) that gives a very light, breathable and close fitting glove that can be used in a variety of applications.

Supplying a customer base in over 40 countries, the JWC logo has become recognised as one of the world’s leading brands in the work glove segment.
