With our advanced expertise in plastics processing, we produce safety helmets and inner shells for bump caps in Germany. High-quality materials and on-going monitoring of all production processes guarantee the highest level of excellence for head protection products.

Expertise in head protection also means thinking about areas where helmets are not compulsory, but where there is still a risk of head injury. This is why we have developed the uvex u-cap bump cap. The innovative arrangement of the plastic shell elements is inspired by the armadillo – and uniquely combines protection and wearer comfort.

At our site in Fürth, we combine everything from safety spectacles and full vision goggles to prescription and laser protection goggles. In this unique competence centre for protective eyewear, we develop and produce, in accordance with strict quality standards, premium coating systems to enhance the properties of our eyewear – and to create high-performance premium products.

With the laservision brand and our product promise "protecting people", we also offer globally standardised cutting-edge technology in laser protection and laser safety spectacles – which we develop ourselves, produce and sell.

The uvex range of hearing protection includes earplugs, banded ear defenders, earmuffs (safety headphones) and otoplastics. SwedSafe in Tyringe, 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.

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.

uvex safety gloves, based in Lüneburg, Germany, is the uvex safety group's competence and technology center for hand protection, with research & development, in-house laboratories, and highly flexible production. This ensures high technological standards in the production of hand protection solutions as well as short distances from the manufacturer to the user.

For 95 years, uvex has remained true to Germany as its production location and is one of the largest manufacturers in the hand protection category still producing in Germany and Europe. In times of global resource shortages and limited transport capacities, this locational advantage is crucial when it comes to the availability and delivery of the products.

At the same time, uvex maintains control of the entire value chain: From the initial idea through research and development to manufacturing with state-of-the-art production processes. A fully integrated development process in Lüneburg includes:

• own yarn/liner manufacturing
• own compounding (blending)
• specially developed moulding and process technology
• innovative coating technology
• development of customer-specifi c solutions
• technical modifications to existing products (e. g. thermal lining)
• individual production (e. g. gloves for disabled people)

State-of-the-art robot-controlled plant technology and strict production controls guarantee that our safety gloves are of first-class quality. Agile product development is carried out by cross-functional teams, with competencies from a wide range of disciplines and expert areas. A sustainable environmental and energy management ensures a resource-saving and CO²-neutral production.

The specialist manufacturer of protective gloves, which are used for example in the automotive, chemical, mechanical engineering and electrical industries, represents the largest protective glove production in Europe with more than 250 employees. uvex safety gloves stands for outstanding quality "made in Germany", sustainable products as well as high innovation.

One of the main differentiators from our competitors from Asia are the environmentally friendly production processes in Lüneburg.
For example, our production has been 100% solvent-free for more than ten years and has been almost completely supplied with CO² neutral energy sources since 2016. In our product development, we are looking for ways to significantly reduce the CO² footprint of future products by selecting the right materials as early as the product design phase. We are also driving forward new production processes for our series production that will further reduce our energy consumption.

Our expertise is available for you at all times which forms the basis of our on-site. Risk-hazard analysis service: Our hand protection specialists work with you to determine which safety gloves are best suited to your individual requirements.
