uvex ranks among the largest head to toe Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) manufacturers still producing in Europe. Uniquely positioned due to its ownership of its manufacturing facilities, uvex prides itself on delivering high-quality, functional, durable, ergonomic products with high wearer comfort that bring benefits to the wearer’s health and wellbeing. We call this uvex WEARability.
The ownership of its entire value chain ensures the company retains 100% control of the design, sourcing of raw materials, quality and sustainable performance of its products, packaging and processes. Established in 1926, its mission of “protecting people” has never wavered and includes people, society and the environment.
As a German owned company, it has successfully integrated recycled and bio-based materials into its products with no impact on product performance or quality in order to conserve resources and protect the environment. It is also one of the first to calculate the CO₂ footprint for its products and transparently communicate this to customers using a CO2 icon, enabling them to make informed buying decisions in support of their sustainability goals.
