A rocky recovery

[UPDATED]
Much of the global manufacturing is quickly moving out of the doldrums and gearing up significantly! The recovery is of course most welcome by all but it is not well synchronized and we expect to see some major imbalances. In the past months there has been a massive increases in freight costs from China that is only slowly declining, an appreciating Chinese currency, a Brexit not quite as expected, big increases (40-200%) in nitrile, latex and PU cost and now we see fast price increases in textile materials too (15+%).

So what can we do?

Eureka is ramping up production and keep good a stock level and is following relevant markets to mitigate abrupt changes.

We also strongly recommend our customers to rebuild stock in time and be prepared for price changes so that the entire supply chain is prepared for the better times that we all expect and long for.

Hydraulic Jet Protection Glove

Protect yourself against Hydraulic Jet Injection!

Hydraulic Jet Injections may seem harmless at first. The puncture wound may feel like a sting or a splinter but without immediate care may lead to serious damage and result in amputation.

Eureka’s new double coated 13-4 Puncture Hydraulic glove offers highly dexterous and oil proof glove with protection against oil jets.

Vibration Winter Glove

Keep your hands warm while using vibrating tools!

During the colder months, make sure to keep your hands warm to decrease the risk of vibration damage to your hands and fingers. Having cold hands while operating powertools amplifies the potential damage from vibrations and greatly increases the risk of Hand-Arm-Vibration Syndrome and especially White Finger Syndrome.

Eureka offers on-site measurement and analysis of your hand driven power tools in order pinpoint dangerous frequencies and accurately recommend the appropriate combination of models to suit your specific task.

With advanced measuring equipment, a carefully developed range of unique vibration reducing gloves and an ever-growing data-bank, we have developed a deep understanding of the risks associated with vibrating and impacting power tools.
