Handgards is a privately owned company employing nearly 300 people at its El Paso manufacturing plant, distribution center and corporate offices. Originally founded in 1959 as Plasticsmith the company officially became Handgards in 1966 under the reorganization skills and leadership of T. Hamil Reidy. During the 1960's,Handgards marketed disposable gloves through hair care product manufacturers, department stores and mail order houses, as well as veterinary, laboratory, physicians and safety supply houses.At about the same time Handgards introduced disposable polyethylene gloves to the school foodservice and food processing trades. The entire foodservice industry soon adopted the use of disposable gloves for the purpose of preventing contamination of food from the hands of workers preparing and serving foods.The focus of its business significantly changed when Handgards saw the opportunity to diversify and expand its manufacturing processes and to develop additional products for school foodservice applications. Soon a wide variety of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) fast-loading sandwich bags for both hot and cold applications, food storage and freezer bags, and aprons were added to the product mix.Since arriving in El Paso in 1973, Handgards has grown tremendously. The 250,000 square foot facility houses dozens of state-of-the-art machines that handle the entire process of converting millions of pounds of resin each year into plastic products. Thousands of products sold by this multi-million dollar company are produced daily at their manufacturing facility located at 901 Hawkins Blvd.
