About the uvex group
The uvex group brings together four companies under one roof: the uvex safety group, the uvex sports group (uvex sports and ALPINA), the Filtral group (Filtral and Primetta), and the UD2C group, which manages the direct-to-consumer online business. The group operates 49 locations in 23 countries and produces with a strong focus in Germany, where 64 percent of its employees are based.
uvex is a global partner of elite international sports, supplying countless top athletes. The guiding principle “protecting people” is both its mission and commitment. To achieve this, the uvex group develops, manufactures, and delivers products and services that ensure the safety and protection of people at work, in sports, and during leisure activities.
The uvex group continues to develop, manufacture, and test its innovative technologies primarily in its own production facilities in Germany and Europe. We take pride in our long-standing expertise as a manufacturer.
Made in uvex
Our innovative products and services for the global market are created along a fully integrated value chain. From the initial idea through development, design, engineering, and quality management to manufacturing and sales, everything is in our hands. A significant proportion of our safety products are manufactured in our own uvex facilities—many of them in Germany and across Europe.
made in uvex therefore means far more to us than a geographical place of production. It represents our comprehensive manufacturing expertise: our in-house teams develop all products themselves, define technical standards, manage the entire development process, and consistently monitor production quality—regardless of whether a product is manufactured in our own facilities or by long-standing, certified partners worldwide.
In this way, we combine a high level of in-house manufacturing depth with global production structures, ensuring that every product meets uvex’s quality standards. This consistent control over all key stages of the value chain gives us sustainable competitive and innovation advantages.
