Milkers - A day in the life of a dairy farmer
We know how hard Dairy Farmers work and that’s why Milkers gloves have been designed to work as hard as you.
Made from high-quality black nitrile, Milkers gloves are tough, durable and long lasting; protecting your hands from chemicals, oils and harmful bacteria. |
Combined with good parlour hygiene practices, Milkers gloves help improve your herd’s milk quality, aiding the detection of mastitis and decreasing somatic cell counts through reduced cross contamination.
Milkers gloves; protecting you and your herd.. |
Where the Milkers brand began…
Launched in 2010, Ebony black nitrile gloves quickly became popular with Dairy Farmers due to their performance, durability and comfort. After in depth consultation with dairy farmers, extensive on-farm product trials and independent laboratory testing completed, the design and performance of Ebony gloves was significantly enhanced to exceed the unique requirements of the dairy sector.
Two new products were produced: Glove Plus Milkers and Glove Plus Milkers 300 Long Cuff.
To this day, Ebony brand nitrile gloves remain unchanged from their original specification and continue to be widely used outside of the dairy sector.

2013In January 2013 Glove Plus Milkers and Glove Plus Milkers 300 Long Cuff black nitrile gloves were launched. The response from dairy professionals was immediate and unanimous – Milkers are the best gloves in the market! 2014Our “Protecting you and your herd” advertising campaign was carried out in France, Ireland and the United Kingdom with over 22,000 dairy farms in the UK and Ireland alone receiving a free sample of Milkers gloves. 2015At the request of our customers, Glove Plus Milkers sizing was extended to include size XX. Large (size 11). Packaging changes were made to streamline content and provide more product performance information for the glove user on the base of every dispenser box of Milkers. 2017Continued expansion of the brand across Europe ensures more Dairy Famers than ever are enjoying the benefits of Milkers gloves. 2018 Regulatory changes require the inclusion of additional product performance information and single size labelling to be added to disposable glove packaging. Milkers packaging changed - the glove inside the box did not and continues to remain unchanged from our original specification launched in 2012. Our range extension programme continues with Glove Plus Milkers 300 Long Cuff gloves now also available in size XX. Large (size 11) 2019Our first European distribution centre opened in November 2019. All mainland Europe distribution partners are being supplied with Milkers and Milkers 300 Long Cuff gloves direct from the new centre. 2020New milkers-gloves.com website launches What’s next for the Milkers brand?Watch this space and be amongst the first to find out! |
