For nearly 100 years, we have been protecting people at work, in sports, and during leisure activities.

Our mission: protecting people.

The uvex group is one of the world’s leading specialists in personal protective equipment. Our product portfolio includes protective and safety products for occupational safety as well as sports and leisure. Our headquarters are located in Fürth, Northern Bavaria, where the majority of our employees are based. The company was founded in 1926 by Philipp M. Winter, who began producing protective eyewear in his "Optische-Industrie-Anstalt".

With more than 3,000 employees and 49 subsidiaries in 23 countries, the uvex group achieved sales of 666 million euros in fiscal year 2023/24.

Development and production are concentrated in Germany and Europe. From the initial idea through research and development to production using state-of-the-art production processes, the entire value chain is in the hands of uvex. In this way, we protect our know-how sustainably and realize our ambitious vision: We want to be the best in our industry! All uvex products are characterized by technological innovation, high wearing comfort and unmistakable design. This applies - for example - to ski helmets, cycling goggles, hearing and respiratory protection, safety shoes and sunglasses from Filtral.

The constant transfer of know-how between top-class sport and occupational safety inspires our inventive talent and innovative ability.
