Shelby Specialty Gloves was formed in 1985 to manufacture and distribute special purpose gloves through safety and fire equipment distributors for unique applications such as fire-fighting and first responders to more normal operations such as welding and foundry.
MCR Safety was created on January 1st, 2004, when three of these industrial safety companies consolidated into one. Our name tells it all! Memphis Glove, Crews Incorporated, River City Protective Wear (MCR). All three companies were leaders in the personal protection equipment (PPE) industry and have enjoyed tremendous success as independent companies and are achieving even greater success with the combined products and talented workforce.
