Our look may be different but that’s all that’s changed

 

Today marks day one of our 2013 National Sales Conference. This year’s theme is “Shaping the Future.” And what better way to shape our future than to reveal the rebranding of National Safety Apparel. To start things off, we developed our new logo to be contemporary and simple, and designed for every type of application. From our website, to catalogs, exterior clothing labels and more.

This new logo is eye-catching and bold, which will stand out and grab people’s attention. But this is only the beginning of our rebranding. Keep your eyes peeled for all the new stuff we have in store over the next couple months.  Remember, National Safety Apparel is the only safety apparel manufacturer to release a new and innovative product every month so stay tuned!

What Works: National Safety Apparel | wkyc.com

CLEVELAND - Started over 76 years ago, there's a local garment company that's not using your usual fabrics for its products. National Safety Apparel specializes in making clothing that will protect industrial workers from dangers in the workplace.

When the company first started, they would hand-sew steel so that steel workers would be safe on the job. Although some of their clients may have changed as they've expanded into doing work for power plants, refineries, and utility companies much of the work is still done by hand as it was in the beginning.

While some of the work is done by machine, Sal Geraci, Vice President of Operations, stresses the importance of his employees working by hand. "As important as the technologies we've invested in are, the human element is as important as anything," he says.

In just 5 years, the amount of work the company does has more than doubled. Growth has forced the company to search for a place to expand, hoping to find a facility twice as large as their W. 150th Street facility.

National Safety Apparel currently employs 130 people but looks to hire more Clevelanders during the expansion process.

Working to keep people safe while helping Cleveland Grow is "What Works" for National Safety Apparel.

Hi-Vis all Around!

National Safety Apparel wants to make sure your safety is our number one priority. High visibility garments are engineered with both flame and arc resistance and meets ANSI 107-2004 and NFPA 70E -2009 standards.

Currently available in a 6.5 oz. Reliant long sleeve and short sleeve t-shirt style and a 10 oz. Reliant fleece hooded pullover and hooded sweatshirt with zipper style.
