Value follows innovationNew corporate vision and industrial health and safety strategy

The uvex group has successfully completed the transition

from turnover to value orientation. In line with this new

strategic approach, a new corporate vision has also been

developed to provide a basis for the company’s long term

plans including a clearly defined industrial health and safety

strategy and objectives for our different product groups.

VISION

“In the world of uvex, we intend to be leaders in innovation

– creating global value-oriented growth and the number

one position in all our markets and areas of activity.

Value follows innovation!”

In other words, our vision is determined and guided by the

key corporate principles of leadership in innovation and

worldwide value-oriented growth.

MISSION

Within this framework, a mission statement has been de-

fined which describes our prime corporate objectives: “The

uvex brand confirms our responsibility. The central theme of

Protecting People is our mission and this is why we are

commited to develop, manufacture and distribute products

and services which deliver individual safety and protection

in the fields of work, sport and leisure.”

uvex – the innovative brand system supplier with

manufacturing competence

The UVEX SAFETY GROUP positions itself as the innovative

brand system supplier with manufacturing competence,

consistent with our mission statement of “protecting people”.

The group is structured around 4 product specific strategic

business units (SBU):

• Head Protection (safety eyewear, prescription safety

eyewear, laser safety eyewear, safety helmets, hearing

protection, care accessories)

• Workwear (work and safety clothing)

• Footwear (safety shoes and boots, high-performance socks,

care accessories)

• Gloves (safety gloves for mechanical and chemical risks)

and 6 market oriented business units. This dynamic structure

enables the UVEX SAFETY GROUP to provide multiple product

based and Industry Sector specific solutions as well as

service solutions tailored to individual customer needs on

a worldwide basis.

The uvex management systems reinforces the strategic

planning process and ensure effective implementation of

strategic initiatives throughout the matrix organisation.

At the core of this strategy is the principle of being the

„innovative provider of brand systems supported by world

class manufacturing expertise”. This includes the goal of

providing a product range which is pioneering in technol-

ogy and coordinated throughout manufacture in our own

factories – a “head to toe” range brought together under

one brand. This represents an entirely unique position

compared with our competitors around the world!

“uvex products should inspire!”

The development of this universal strategic platform is an

enormous step forward for the company and ultimately, it

will ensure that uvex industrial health and safety products

always remain at the leading edge of developments

across the different sectors.

The “2007 Top 100 Corporate Comparison” conducted

independently and scientifically, voted the UVEX SAFETY

GROUP as one of Germany‘s most innovative medium

sized companies – and we succeeded in securing a place

in the top 10 in the “Innovation marketing” category of the

ranking! Now officially classified as a top innovator, uvex

will continue to demonstrate to its customers that it is an

undisputed leader in the field of innovative industrial

health and safety solutions.

uvex climatec® – climatic comfort gu Innovative climate management from head to toe

The UVEX SAFETY GROUP is the only manu-

facturer in the international personal

protective equipment (PPE) sector that has

researched climate issues within occupa-

tional safety products, resulting in uvex

climatec®. A comprehensive climate concept

for all areas of activity and work environ-

ments. The result: increased well-being,

longer lasting productivity and optimal

comfort in every situation!

Every workplace puts different demands on

the occupational safety system regarding

the prevailing climate infl uences and air

movement conditions. Irrespective of

warmth, cold, wind and water, activities

that require standing, intermittent move-

ments or long-term demands – uvex

climatec® offers the solution to keep the

body comfortable in every situation and to

increase the performance in day-to-day

work. To make this possible uvex has com-

bined its competence in research, use of

materials and product development and is

the only manufacturer of personal protec-

tive equipment that presents a functioning

climate concept that is applied in an inte-

gral approach over all product groups.

uvex climate competence

uvex climatec® functions like the body’s

own climatic system: deviations from the

individual climate are balanced and the

body temperature remains at a consist-

ently comfortable level. Excess warmth and

moisture are effi ciently removed reducing

the feeling of cold. To effectively improve

the climate in an occupational safety sys-

tem, it is essential to analyse all relevant

factors and investigate and understand

their mode of operation.

uvex has been researching climate issues

for a long time. In collaboration with well-

known institutes such as PFI (Pirmasens

Testing and Research Institute), the Kaisers-

lautern Technical College or the Hohenstein

Institutes, testing methods and devices

were developed that allowed a comprehen-

sive and well-founded measurement of

climate characteristics.

Comfort results from quality

What makes a good safety glove?

The consistent high-quality of our safety gloves is guaran-

teed by carefully selected raw materials, solid processing

methods and stringent production controls based on the

guidelines of European norms. Equally integral to the uvex

approach is our commitment to continuous product devel-

opment and conformity with new safety requirements. The

use of high-quality natural fibres that are well tolerated by

the skin is the precondition for feeling comfortable. This is

critical as only a glove that is worn can provide protection.

Copying nature: a completely new ergonomic fit. The PROFAS Flat-Ergo Technology with anatomically shaped phalanges.

Öko-Tex-certified natural materials such as jersey cotton liners or knitted liners with bamboo thread provide for a pleasant wearing feeling and optimal comfort.

Certified according to Oeko Tex Standard 100

Proven levels of safety,for you and your employees. Everything that

comes into contact with skin has to satisfy the most exacting require-

ments and this is why we decided to have all knitted gloves in our

PROFI, CONTACT, RUBIPOR, HELIX, PROTECTOR, RUBIFLEX and RUBIFLEX S

ranges, certified according to the stringent testing criteria of Product

Class II.

PROFAS safety gloves always come with a flexible, optimally cross-linked coating that provides excellent abrasion resistance in practice.

The result: safety gloves with unsurpassed wearing comfort and the best tactile feel. Because only the combination of optimal design, skin-friendly comfortable materials and effective coating technology makes a safety glove for daily work really perfect.

The pictogram with the beaker stands for waterproof safety gloves with low protection against chemical dangers.

Safety gloves can be divided into three different categories:

1. Minimal risksPersonal protection equipment (PPE) for minor safety require-ments where the user is assumed to be capable of evaluating the impact of the risks, e. g. tempera-tures up to 50 °C or gardening work.

2. Medium risksPPE that does not fall into catego-ries 1 or 3, e.g. mechanical risks.

3. Complex protectionPPE for protection against lethal dangers or serious and irreversible injury, e.g. protection against chemicals. The European Directive 89/686/EEC specifies the funda-mental requirements for PPE.Norms for safety gloves were devised for these different require-ments.
