Sustainable PPE & Advanced Kneepads for Demanding Environments

We are launching two high-quality product lines into new sectors beyond plumbing:

Biodegradable Black Nitrile Gloves
These premium gloves deliver superior protection and a clear environmental advantage. Independently tested under ASTM D5511, they biodegrade by over 40% in two years under landfill-like conditions. Certified for chemical (EN ISO 374), food (EN 1186), and medical use (EN 455, AQL 1.5), they are powder free, latex free, and textured for grip. Available in sizes M/L/XL from our UK warehouse.
Kneepads with Patented Redbacks® Technology
Scientifically engineered for lasting comfort and protection, these kneepads use Redbacks® cushioning to distribute pressure evenly and reduce injury risk. Proven to outlast foam and gel alternatives, they retain full recovery and performance even after extended use. Offered in multiple formats including pocket kneepads, strapped options, and mats, they meet the needs of electricians, flooring specialists, builders, and other trades.

Why Sell McAlpine:

Proven Brand, Lucrative Terms, and Full Support

Established Brand Credibility
McAlpine is a trusted manufacturer with over a century of heritage, £85 million annual turnover, and 741 employees. Our track record gives agents instant credibility when introducing our products to new markets.
Excellent commission terms
Generous upfront rates on glove sales, high-margin returns on kneepads, and no earnings cap. Realistic annual commission earnings of £30k–£60k+ are achievable, with significant upside for agents who secure larger or multi-sector accounts.
Recurring commission
Agents continue earning commission on repeat orders from the customers they introduce. The gloves drive frequent reorders, while kneepads provide long-term margin growth.
Comprehensive Training & Marketing Support
Initial onboarding includes live product training and hands-on sample kits. Agents receive full sales collateral, compliance documents, product videos, and sector-specific decks. Ongoing support ensures they stay informed and competitive.
Exclusive sales areas
We offer exclusivity by region, sector, or both outside the plumbing, builders’ merchant, and DIY channels. Agents can confidently invest in customer relationships without internal channel conflict.
Freedom to Operate Your Way
With McAlpine not yet active in these new markets, agents enjoy full independence to develop business where and how they choose, free from internal competition.

Target Markets: Wide-Ranging Demand Across Sectors

Our product lines are suited to distributors, wholesalers, and end-users in:

Janitorial & Facilities Management
Automotive Workshops & Detailing

Industrial & On-Site Trades
Laboratories & Life Sciences
