The Medicom story began in 1988, in the midst of the AIDS crisis and the ensuing shortage of protective apparel for healthcare workers. Asked for help by a former college classmate, twenty-three-year-old Ronald Reuben set out to source urgently needed high-quality medical gloves. After successfully procuring the gloves, he created the SafeTouch glove brand and founded Medicom in Montreal, Canada.
Demand for SafeTouch gloves and other PPE grew quickly and Mr. Reuben soon bought his own mask manufacturing facility. He purchased state-of-the-art equipment, traveled the world to source the highest quality raw materials and hired leading experts to design and manufacture the most reliable personal protective equipment on the market.
From the outset, Mr. Reuben recognized that providing reliable protection for healthcare personnel was more than just a business opportunity. He made it his life’s mission to provide the highest quality protection in the world to those who protect and care for others. To do so, he insisted on selecting only the finest raw materials, using state-of-the-art machinery and manufacturing techniques and implementing stringent quality controls at every stage of production. That unwavering commitment to quality, reliability and continuous innovation earned Medicom the trust of millions of healthcare professionals around the world and the company grew quickly.
Over three decades later, Mr. Reuben is still at the helm of the company and the entire Medicom team is as dedicated to quality as Mr. Reuben was when he founded the company. Every Medicom product is crafted with skill, passion and attention to detail because we take pride in the protection we offer.
Today, the company’s three core tenets are at the heart of Medicom’s branding:
- Offer only the highest quality products.
- Build and maintain our customers’ trust.
- Take pride in the protection we offer.
