uvex safety at GaLaBau in Nuremberg for the first time

For the first time this year the German PPE manufacturer uvex safety group will participate as an exhibitor at the GaLaBau trade fair in Nuremberg. uvex will be showcasing special personal protective equipment for gardening and landscaping at the 65-square-metre stand from 11 to 14 September. As a special highlight, a meet & greet with the gardening professional Davit Arican, known from TV, is also on the program.

It takes strength and precision, organisational skills and a hands-on mentality, plant knowledge and technical know-how - and sometimes also imagination: Anyone who works in gardening and landscaping is working in a demanding profession. It is always crucial that employees are optimally protected from the dangers of their outdoor workplace. The family-owned company uvex specialises in the protection of people at work, in sports and in leisure time and is increasingly expanding its range of PPE products to include individual sectors such as construction, automotive, fire and rescue and now also gardening and landscaping. That's why uvex safety will be exhibiting at the GaLaBau trade fair for the first time this year.

The trade fair takes place every two years in Nuremberg and sees itself as the leading trade fair for the planning, construction and maintenance of urban, green and open spaces. In 2022, 61,433 visitors from a total of 76 countries flocked to the exhibition grounds, which were home to 1093 exhibitors on an area of around 116,800 square metres. Between 11 and 14 September, uvex will be offering 65 square metres of space to present innovative product highlights in Hall 5 at booth number 224.

Such as the uvex suXXeed craft workwear collection for men and women, which combines comfortable, sporty workwear with reliable weather protection for unrestricted performance in everyday working life. Or the uvex 3 work boot, which, in addition to the necessary robustness, also comes with practical features such as the innovative uvex i-PUREnrj polyurethane sole technology, which returns the energy of striding to the wearer. The uvex waterstop technology also reliably protects against water penetration for four times longer than the standard requires.

The hands are also subject to a lot of strain in gardening and landscaping, so that functions such as cut and stab protection come into focus. The thornproof glove HexArmor® ThornArmor® 3092 offers cut protection level F, is hard-wearing and washable - perfect for landscaping! The uvex bamboo TwinFlex is particularly characterised by its high level of comfort. The integrated bamboo fibres make the allround glove particularly sustainable – which has a certain charm, especially when working with plants. Helmets and protection for eyes, mouth, ears and face will also be on display at booth 224. uvex acts true to the motto protecting people from head to toe.

As a special highlight, visitors to the trade fair can look forward to a meet & greet with Davit Arican. On Friday, September 13th, the owner of a planning office known from the German television format ‘Duell der Gartenprofis’ will be available for photo and autograph requests at the uvex stand from 1 pm to 3 pm.
