Glovesafe OpCo Plans Louisville, Kentucky, Headquarters-Manufacturing Operations

12/18/2025
Medical glove manufacturer Glovesafe OpCo Inc., doing business as GLVUS, plans to establish operations in Louisville, Kentucky. The approximately $6 million investment is expected to create 200 jobs.

The company’s new North American headquarters, located in the city's LOUMED Medical & Education District, will be in addition to a new manufacturing facility which will produce sterile surgical gloves for the U.S. health-care market.

“GLVUS represents a new era of supply chain resilience and health innovation,” said Matthew Griffin, CEO of GLVUS. “Our mission is to build a stronger, safer and more sustainable source of sterile surgical gloves for the American health-care system, made right here in Louisville, Kentucky.”

To support the project the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved an incentive agreement with the company under the Kentucky Business Investment program. By meeting its annual targets over the agreement term, the company can be eligible to keep a portion of the new tax revenue it generates. The company may claim eligible incentives against its income tax liability and/or wage assessments.

“We continue to see Kentucky’s manufacturing sector set the pace for our surging economy and ongoing economic success,” noted Governor Andy Beshear. “When quality companies such as GLVUS choose to locate here in the commonwealth, it is a testament to and a vote of confidence in our communities, business-friendly resources and talented workforce. This project will not just provide a great service for the American health-care system, it will also create 200 quality jobs for Louisville and the surrounding areas. I want to thank the company’s leadership for believing in this great state and welcome them to their New Kentucky Home.”

In addition, GLVUS can receive resources from Kentucky’s workforce service providers. Those include no-cost recruitment and job placement services, reduced-cost customized training and job-training incentives.

“GLVUS deciding to establish its North American headquarters and production facility here shows confidence in our workforce, our logistics advantage and our vision for a more resilient health-care future – strengths that companies from across the world are seeing in Louisville and choosing to invest here,” added Trevor Pawl, Louisville Economic Development Alliance CEO.

GLVUS is an advanced health-care manufacturer that produces gloves for use by surgeons, clinicians and care teams.
