Brands of the uvex group

HexArmor

In 2016, the company from Grand Rapids, Michigan, entered into a strategic partnership with uvex. This is a win-win situation because it opens up HexArmor markets in Europe, Africa and the Middle East and offers uvex the opportunity to position itself in the USA.

Security is not a luxury, it is a necessity.

That is the credo of HexArmor. Ten years ago, the American company revolutionized the production of protective gloves. Its SuperFabric® material consists of small tiles that overlap and act like a shell. The result: outstanding cut and puncture resistance.

HexArmor's neon creepy gloves come with more features. An exo-skeleton dissipates shocks and reduces the pressure on fingers and hand bones by up to 80 percent. Pimples and grooves in the inner surfaces guarantee maximum mobility and reliable grip even when water or oil are on surfaces.

In addition to the well-known gloves, HexArmor also sells protective goggles, arm protection, hearing protection & safety helmets.

Two brands with one global mission: protecting people

We started this journey more than a decade ago. A group of hardworking people with a new technology that no one had ever seen. One that had the potential to change the cut and puncture safety market. One that could save the lives and livelihood of workers across the world. So we started with one industry. And one glove.

The Key to effective protection: SuperFabric®-material

HexArmor® sets industry-leading standards in cut and puncture protection by incorporating multiple layers of SuperFabric® material into a wide range of hand, arm, and body protection products. This advanced technology helps protect workers from some of the most serious hazards in mining, automotive manufacturing, food processing, recycling, and many other industries.

How does it work?

SuperFabric® helps prevent cuts and puncture injuries through a system of small, rigid guard plates attached to a flexible fabric base. This unique design protects against life-changing injuries while helping reduce the high costs associated with medical treatment. In addition, SuperFabric® products are fully washable, lowering replacement costs and improving workplace hygiene.

For us, the most important aspect of the transformation of our market profile is that we started as a company with a single product and were able to expand our portfolio through the merger with uvex. This made us a more attractive partner for wholesalers, which was enormously important for our growth.
