RONCO Gown Replaces Apron/Sleeve Combo in Food or Healthcare Apps

CONCORD, Ontario - May 22, 2013 - PRLog -- To safeguard against common contamination and splash hazards RONCO introduces the RONCO Gown, a one-of-a-kind, strong cast polyethylene gown that replaces the combined protection of a traditional apron and sleeve.  

The RONCO Gown is CFIA accepted for use in food processing or handling facilities that are seeking compliance with HACCP principles.  It is lightweight, yet strong enough to provide superior protection against common food preparation hazards such as steam, contamination, abrasion, grease, cleaning solutions or  light chemicals.

Aside from food applications, RONCO Gown is also ideal for any number of jobs that require particulate protection and barrier against water-based and non-hazardous liquids, such as in the beauty industry at spas or salons, or in healthcare applications such as clinics or long-term care facilities.  

Unlike some CPE gowns on the market, RONCO Gown has a smooth finish to inhibit bacterial growth. Its built-in thumb loops prevent sleeves from sliding up and facilitate the donning of gloves.

RONCO Product Manager, Matthew Shannon, spoke about the dual merits of the RONCO Gown, “We originally introduced this product in Canada in 2009 and other companies followed suit. The RONCO gown is unique in the way it offers seamless protection and an easy, comfortable fit.”

“Because it’s two PPE items in one,” Mr. Shannon continued, “it delivers reductions in inventory costs. When a product can outperform others on the market and also provide sku rationalization, it’s a win-win at every level for our customers.”

President of RONCO, Ron Pecchioli noted, “RONCO is driven by creating more than just commodity items. We view our products as risk management solutions and the RONCO Gown is an example of how we implement continuous improvement and innovation to products to enhance safety in the food, healthcare and beauty industries.”

Established in 1996, Ronco is a world class manufacturer of safety products. With a focus on consistent quality and outstanding customer service, RONCO has developed a strong presence across Canada for delivering Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) solutions for Hand, Head and Body, targeting the food, healthcare and industrial sectors.

RONCO is the first glove manufacturer in North America to obtain ISO 22000 certification for Food Safety Management Systems.
