1erTrimestre12 | PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 70 Updated products · Technical Gloves Despite being best known for its workwear activity, Marca began its path in the indus- try almost 25 years ago through the safety gloves. Many customers rely on this prod- uct that maintains a consistent quality line at a very attractive price. Therefore, the company from Cartagena has decided to incorporate new models, more techni- cal, with more specialized uses, to expand the assortment in its catalog. Thus, we can find new models designed specifically for protection against electrical shock, a model “anti-puncture”, which combines two very important criteria for the user, such as comfort and touch, requiring its use those who handle waste hospital, hos- pital laundries, veterinarians, cleanliness of vehicles (buses, planes, etc.). Among the gloves novelties, excels an anti- cut model, especially suitable for the food industry, other glove made of Taeki5 fiber (maximum level of cut resistance) latex coated, and various models based on nylon, coated with nitrile, polyurethane or latex, with finishes that allow greater dex- terity in some cases, or protection against the cold, in others. Some of these gloves are manufactured with components which are respectful with the environment, such as bamboo, or avoiding the use of solvents. The range also includes a new latex glove of ‘grip’ type, with competitive pricing tai- lored to the needs of the market that privi- leges the price. · Industrial clothing No doubt has been in the apparel industry where Marca has made the greatest mile- stones at the protection sector in Spain, and in Sicur, it shows its aces with no hes- itation. The future of protective clothing comes up with high-visibility clothing, a field in which the firm is focusing its cur- rent development. The Marca’s ‘Top’ range is the most sold in the sector thanks to its balanced quality-price ratio. Marca now offers its customers the oppor- tunity to buy all the trousers of the collec- tion certified Class 1, according to EN 471, incorporating to them reflective and fluo- rescent bands on the legs, both in yellow and orange colours. Similarly, and not cer- tified, it will also be possible to buy the jacket and trousers Top with reflective bands incorporated. The so-called “Infinite Series” will include then 35 new garments. The range of garments certified to EN 471 shall be extended by Soft-Shell type jackets with detachable sleeves, blue or green bicolor garments (jackets, trousers, polo...), shirts, fleeces... which, together with refer- ences recently incorporated, and to be exhibited at the fair, embody a break- through in this field. The company con- denses its philosophy in the message “Marca, the high visibility company”. 67
