Since 1926, uvex has been dedicated to protecting people. The company creates personal protective equipment from head to toe that precisely delivers the protection workers need.

Protecting the planet is the natural continuation of this mission. With CO2 emissions rocketing and global warming soaring, the climate crisis is escalating rapidly. It is only possible to protect people, therefore, by working to preserve and protect the environment.

In little more than a decade, uvex has implemented a considerable number of measures to improve its green credentials and reduced its CO2 footprint by 70% (in scope 1 and 2). High quality standards for products are combined with the development of recycling concepts and the use of bio-based materials. The durability and long service life of uvex products help to reduce waste and conserve resources.

The uvex group unites four companies under one roof: the uvex safety group, the uvex sports group (uvex sports and ALPINA), the Filtral group (Filtral and Primetta) and Protecting People GmbH for the B2C business. The uvex group is represented by 49 branches in 22 countries and produces by conviction with a focus on Germany. uvex is a global partner to top international sports as an outfitter to countless top athletes. The guiding principle of protecting people is both a mission and an obligation. To this end, the uvex group develops, produces and sells products and services for the safety and protection of people in the professional, sports and leisure sectors.

Everything revolves around safety at work in the uvex safety group: We produce personal protective equipment from head to toe – including protective helmets, safety eyewear, respiratory protection, hearing protection, safety gloves, protective clothing and workwear, and safety shoes.
