9th International Rubber Glove Conference and Exhibition 2018

ABOUT THE EVENT


MARGMA succeeded in bridging the gap among industry players, fortifying a greater exchange of ideas when it organised the inaugural International Rubber Glove Conference and Exhibition (IRGCE) in 2002.

Since then, the premier showcase has been successfully conducted in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016 on a biennial basis. The IRGCE being MARGMA’s sole conference and exhibition event will continue to grow side by side with the healthily growing industry.

IRGCE is now the world’s largest exhibition of rubber gloves. It is now a must-visit event for players in the rubber glove industry.

The 9th IRGCE 2018 was successfully organized by MARGMA and co-hosted by the Malaysian Export Promotion Council (MREPC), in association with the Thai Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (TRGMA) and the Indonesian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (IRGMA).
