  Manufacturing expertise - Sustainability timeline
===================================================

uvex safety eyewear Fürth, Germany
----------------------------------

In Fürth, Bavaria, uvex designs and manufactures premium-quality, high-performance safety eyewear, including safety spectacles, goggles, prescription glasses, and laser protection eyewear. The facility holds certifications under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 50001:2011 standards, and it utilises cutting-edge technology along with strategic collaborations to create innovative, forward-looking products and solutions.

The uvex safety eyewear manufacturing facility has recently undergone several key upgrades to enhance efficiency and sustainability. This includes the installation of new energy-efficient flood cells, which contribute to reduced energy consumption. A new and improved coating system has been introduced to enhance product quality and performance. Additionally, the compressed-air system has been optimised to improve operational efficiency, and the power distribution infrastructure within the production area has been completely renewed to support modern manufacturing demands.

   Our long-standing commitment to sustainability
