Blackrock Gloves: Quality Industrial Clothing

Based in Manchester for nearly 100 years, Blackrock Gloves have long endeavoured to produce great quality industrial safety wear. From painter's gloves to touchscreen work gloves, they maintain great value without compromising on materials or design.

A Brush With The Past

Blackrock Gloves have a more unlikely start than most glove manufacturers. Founded as Rodo in Ashton under Lyne Manchester in 1926, the company were initially in the business of making brooms and brushes and it wasn't until the 1940s when they branched out into industrial clothing. As the 20th century progressed they branched outwards into more clothing and a global market, exporting gloves to China.

Enter Blackrock

In Rodo's nearly 100 year history, the Blackrock brand is a fairly new addition. The brand was formed in 2005 when it became clear that there was growing demand for purpose designed workwear for tradesmen. They introduced new ranges of gloves, shoes and safety wear.

The Range

Blackrock carry a broad glove range equally embedded in their history as in the future. Alongside robust and reliable grip gloves, they still sell painters gloves. Most excitingly, they manufacture several smart phone compatible work gloves.
