Dermatec, operating as Dermatec Direct, is an established entity in the personal protective equipment (PPE) market, specializing in the distribution and manufacturing of disposable medical supplies. With a history dating back to 1995 as Dermatec Direct and 1989 under the name BP Polo, the firm has built a long-standing presence in the industry. The company's business model is centered on supplying a broad array of disposable products, with a core focus on high-quality latex and non-latex gloves. Revenue is generated through direct sales to a diverse client base that spans multiple sectors, including healthcare, dental, veterinary, food service, funeral homes, and tattoo parlors.
A significant milestone occurred in August 2025 when Dermatec, LLC, led by William “Billy” Emerson Harris III, acquired the company's assets from retiring founders Anthony “Tony” Singleton and Craig Greenberg. Mr. Harris has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer, bringing three decades of experience from the hand protection and manufacturing industries, including executive positions at Sempermed USA and Showa Best Glove. This transition in leadership signals a new strategic direction, with plans to double company revenues and significantly scale glove production to three billion units annually.
The company's product portfolio is extensive, featuring a wide variety of medical and non-medical grade gloves known for being available in numerous colors. Beyond hand protection, Dermatec Direct provides thousands of ancillary items tailored to specific industries. These offerings include infectious apparel, dental consumables, sterilization pouches, and other essential disposables, positioning the company as a comprehensive supplier for its target markets.
