PIP acquires Safety Works
Protective Industrial Products has acquired Safety Works LLC., a provider of safety products that services the consumer and retail market.
PIP is a privately-held company that manufactures and sources a broad range of industrial safety products globally. PIP has grown to $250 million in sales over the last 30 years.
“With this acquisition, PIP strengthens its position in the retail-ready safety product market while giving Safety Works LLC access to PIP’s globally integrated logistics and sourcing operations in the U.S. and Hong Kong,“ said Joe Milot, president and CEO of PIP. “We are excited about the synergies created by this acquisition as we believe the retail market for safety and hand protection strongly predicts the future trends within the industrial safety market that we also serve.”
“PIP’s product line strengths mesh well with our retail customers’ needs,” said Safety Works CEO Harry Kunze. “We are excited about the opportunities PIP will bring to us and our customers.”
Safety Works will operate as a subsidiary of PIP under the new name Safety Works Inc.
