New technologies = higher protection + lower carbon footprint

At uvex, we understand many organisations are struggling to specify appropriate levels of hand protection for specific high risks tasks whilst ensuring they are reducing their impact on the environment.

uvex prides itself on developing new technologies that protect both people and the planet.
