uvex safety equipment

uvex is a prominent German brand specializing in personal protective equipment and sports gear. The name is an abbreviation for 'Ultra Violet EXcluded', highlighting the brand's long-standing focus on high-quality eye protection. Founded in the 1920s, the company has grown into a global leader for industrial safety products, including helmets, goggles, and safety footwear.

Today, the uvex group remains a family-owned enterprise based in Fürth, Germany. While many of its products are still manufactured in Germany to ensure high quality and precision, the group operates production sites across Europe and other international locations to serve a global market. The brand is managed through two main pillars: uvex safety and uvex sports, both of which are under the ultimate ownership of the Winter Holding GmbH & Co. KG.
