Guide press release 04.11.2011
Guide introduced CPN – a new generation of work- and protective gloves that pushes the EN-standards through the roof. Injuries to the hand is a problem that every year cost millions for companies and societies. Guide CPN is now being introduced to the market. A groundbreaking range of work- and protective gloves with protection that exceeds the maximum protection levels according to valid EN-standards. Yet the gloves in Guide CPN range are flexible and comfortable to work in.

The Guide CPN-range offers protection against cuts-, puncture- and needle sticks. Earlier available products in the market offering the protection against these risks, has often been hard to wear, rigid or not protective enough.
- Most people can´t believe their eyes, when they see the testresults on the Guide CPN products. But was is even more impressive is the fact that these gloves works in real life. The gloves in the Guide CPN range are quite unique to say the least, says Roger Rasmussen, Product-area/Brand manager at Guide.
Most of the models in the CPN-range widely exceed the highest score according to the EN-388 standard. Besides testing and certificate the CPN-range according to EN388, we have also created our own grading system in order to visualize the level of protection in the Guide CPN gloves. |

- I dare to say that they combined protection against cuts-, punctures- and needle sticks offered by the Guide CPN products, is probably the best available in the market today, Roger Rasmussen continues.
The high level of protection largely comes from the use of Alycore. A metal-weave implemented in the gloves. The combination offers a high level of protection without making the gloves heavy, rigid or uncomfortable to wear.
- Good protection should not be achieved on the expense of dexterity and flexibility. If gloves are too heavy to use, people simply don’t wear them. Our ambition for the gloves in Guide CPN has been to create highly protective gloves, but also to make them as flexible and dexterous as possible. And we have succeeded, says Åsa Lindberg Svensson, Category/Product manager at Guide.
- In Sweden alone, 30% of all reported accidents in the workplace is related to hand injuries. There is a big need for better hand protection. Why should people within police, waste management, construction and industry have to risk their hands and health, when there is really good protection available, Åsa Lindberg Svensson continues.
At the globac launch of Guide CPN at the A+A fair last week, we had a fantastic feedback. The demonstrations of how Guide CPN works when handling broken glass, knives and needles, really turned heads and people were amazed by the function of new Guide CPN range, Roger Rasmussen concludes.
