<p>Matt Horine interviews Maxter Healthcare leaders Kevin Shutack, Nick Gilman, and Donny Chan about Master Healthcare&#39;s $500 million investment to build its first US nitrile glove manufacturing facility in Brazoria County, Texas, aimed at strengthening domestic PPE supply chain resilience after COVID-19 shortages. They explain why the pandemic accelerated a long-held vision, how site selection prioritized water, power, weather, logistics, and community after evaluating locations including Upstate New York and Florida, and why Brazoria County won. The guests describe the 215-acre, highly automated, hurricane- and flood-resilient plant using AI defect detection and producing 180–200 million gloves monthly today, with phase-one capacity rising and long-term plans for up to ~80 lines. They discuss serving healthcare, industrial, and federal government demand, policy signals, tariffs and raw-material challenges, and the push for long-term contracts to reduce import volatility and shortages.</p><p><br></p><p><br><br>00:00 Welcome and Episode Setup<br>01:47 Why Reshore Gloves Now<br>03:36 Site Search Across States<br>06:51 Choosing Brazoria County Texas<br>09:46 Markets and Federal Demand<br>12:25 Policy Tariffs and Supply Risks<br>18:05 Inside the Mega Facility<br>20:44 How Gloves Are Made at Scale<br>26:10 Winning Buyers on Value<br>29:52 Expansion Plans and Contracts<br>34:24 Supply Chain Disruptions Return<br>39:49 Advice for Onshoring Builders<br>42:25 Where to Learn More<br>43:12 Closing Takeaways and Outro</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.maxtergloves.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Maxter Healthcare</a></p><p><a href="https://sustainment.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://www.veryableops.com/navigating-trump-2-0" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Navigating Trump 2.0 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.veryableops.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Revitalizing US Manufacturing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://company.veryableops.com/create-profile" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign Up on the Veryable Platform ⁠</a></p>
