Manufacturing expertise

We offer personal protective equipment from head to toe, with manufacturing expertise in all areas – and we invite you to judge our expertise.

uvex safety is synonymous with exceptional industrial health and safety solutions that fulfil the highest demands. These are based on in-depth expertise, the latest technology and uncompromising quality. Almost 80% of the value chain is generated in our own uvex plants. These production plants are home to the latest technology, a huge wealth of experience and a passionate desire for product innovation, which is in many ways pioneering.

We place the highest requirements on ourselves

Strict quality management ensures that we meet the high requirements we have set ourselves and our products – all our plants are certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2008.

Our own product development and a tight network of strategic partners help us to continuously create innovative ideas. Innovations – just as much as existing products – have to prove themselves in our own test laboratories. Only when a product exceeds all the requirements of the relevant safety standard does it earn the right to the uvex name.

Manufacturing expertise in hearing protection

The uvex range of hearing protection includes earplugs, banded ear defenders and earmuffs (safety headphones). SwedSafe in Höör, Sweden, is our ultra-modern manufacturing plant for hearing protection with its own research and development department all under the same roof. SwedSafe has become one of the leading manufacturers of hearing protection in only a few years since it was established, thanks to its successful network of partnerships with known hearing protection specialists and its collaboration with testing facilities across the world. SwedSafe also sets benchmarks for environmental protection and sustainability. SwedSafe regularly sets the bar just that little bit higher in hearing protection thanks to its innovative drive and its own polyurethane foam that it developed in-house.

Value follows innovation

As a specialist in foam processing, SwedSafe continuously monitors and optimises earplugs and their material composition in terms of cell structures and homogeneity. This achieves optimal reset times and the best possible contact pressure. The many patents relating to earplugs that have been filed are proof of SwedSafe's innovative drive.
