Yew Lee Pacific at IRGCE 2026: Advancing Brush Solutions for the Future of Rubber Glove Manufacturing

From 8–10 September 2026, the global rubber glove industry gathered at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) for the 12th International Rubber Glove Conference & Exhibition (IRGCE 2026).

Organised by the Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (MARGMA) and co-hosted by the Malaysian Rubber Council (MRC), IRGCE 2026 brought together manufacturers, suppliers, technology providers and industry professionals from across the global rubber glove ecosystem. This year’s event was held under the theme “Synergising Innovation: Redefining the Future of the Rubber Glove Ecosystem.”

The 2026 edition was also the largest IRGCE held to date, featuring 605 booths and 215 exhibitors from 17 countries and regions.

For Yew Lee Pacific, IRGCE 2026 provided an important opportunity to reconnect with the industry, exchange technical knowledge and demonstrate how the right brush solution can contribute to a more efficient and reliable glove manufacturing process.

At our booth, we highlighted brush applications for different stages of the production line, including former cleaning, beading, cuffing and specialised cleaning applications. We also shared insights on how factors such as bristle material, stiffness, trim length and brush density can affect brush performance and production consistency.

A key focus of our showcase was helping customers better understand how to select the right brush specification for different operating conditions. With materials such as PP, PBT, PET and Nylon 66, each option offers different characteristics in terms of wear resistance, moisture absorption, stiffness and temperature performance.

We also introduced our latest brush innovations and customised solutions developed to meet the evolving needs of glove manufacturers.

Thank You for Visiting Us at IRGCE 2026 ⭐️

We would like to thank all customers, business partners, industry professionals and visitors who took the time to meet our team during IRGCE 2026.

The conversations, technical discussions and feedback received throughout the exhibition continue to help us better understand the evolving requirements of the rubber glove industry.

As the industry continues to advance through automation, new materials, sustainability and greater manufacturing efficiency, Yew Lee Pacific remains committed to developing reliable and customised brush solutions for the next generation of rubber glove manufacturing. IRGCE itself highlighted digitalisation, automation, materials innovation and sustainability as key forces shaping the sector’s next phase.
