ATG Hand Care: A Trailblazer in Ethical Manufacturing and Workplace Excellence

In the high-pressure world of manufacturing, where turnaround times are tight and expectations tighter, it's rare to come across a Group of Companies that places its people on par with its products.

- 

Yet, the ATG Group of Companies has done just that. In a landmark achievement, ATG Hand Care has been recognised among the Top 15 'Best Workplace™ in Manufacturing and Production' 2025 by Great Place to Work® Sri Lanka, a first-time honour for the company that marks a significant milestone in its over 30-year journey of excellence, innovation, and integrity.

The recognition is the result of quiet, consistent work of building a culture that listens, nurtures, and grows. This is how ATG proved that a human-first workplace is a winning strategy on a global scale.

People Behind The Product

ATG is not your average glove manufacturer. Its operations span across Sri Lanka's Export Processing Zones from Katunayake to Wathupitiwala, Koggala and Mirigama, and ships products to almost every key market in the world. At present, the business is a global pioneer in glove manufacturing technologies and innovation. This is a data-driven, impact-led enterprise with deep manufacturing roots that blends Sri Lankan engineering and European Standards.

So, how did the Group end up having a human-first approach at the heart of it all? The most simplest answer - choice.

"Our greatest technology is our people," says Mr. Fazal Abdeen, Managing Director of ATG Group of Companies. "We've always believed in building trust, dignity, and a better life for all."

More than 6,500 employees stand behind their employer so firmly, and almost 90% of them agree, "This is a great place to work". According to the Trust Index® survey conducted by Great Place to Work®, ATG scored 83% overall an endorsement only a few can match. Beyond its direct employment footprint, ATG positively impacts the lives of over 30,000 individuals, including those in the extended supply chain and service communities.
