Uvex safety eyewear and sporting goods

Uvex, which stands for "Ultraviolet Excluded," is a premier German brand established in 1926 by Philipp M. Winter. The company began by specializing in protective eyewear and has since expanded into a world leader for safety products in the workplace, sports, and leisure sectors. The brand is renowned for its high-quality engineering and innovation, maintaining a significant portion of its manufacturing infrastructure within Germany to ensure rigorous quality standards.

The uvex group is headquartered in Fürth, northern Bavaria, and remains a family-owned enterprise managed by the third and fourth generations of the Winter family. The group operates under two main pillars: the uvex safety group, which produces industrial health and safety equipment, and the uvex sports group, which includes brands like Alpina and focuses on winter sports, cycling, and equestrian equipment. This dual focus allows the brand to apply professional-grade safety technology to consumer sporting goods.
