Our Innovation Directions
Our innovation concept applies to the following fields:
From the outset we have directed our innovation efforts towards delivering important benefits to end-users.
Whether
it is new product functions, applications, increased protection levels,
design, comfort, ease of use, fit, durability, or associated services
(educational programs, training modules, technical support), our
research outcomes are based on in-depth understanding of specific needs
and the way our products are used in our customer environments.
Each type of environment requires an adapted solution, while regulation frequently imposed new standards.
Our
R&D and product management teams respond to both these demands.
They base their work and methods on real workplace needs, working
side-by-side with end-users to create suitable innovative solutions.
This
enables us to take into account all the factors that can increase
users’ acceptance for PPE, and to develop genuinely innovative products
and solutions for them.
- Future trends in safety at work
We anticipate future evolutions by pioneering solutions to counter unknown risks.
We anticipate international and local regulation requirements with suitable safety solutions that people like to use and wear.
We
track emerging technologies that can dramatically enhance protection
levels, and new high-tech materials that will create more resistant and
easy-to-use PPE.
We also design and develop increasingly environment-friendly products.
To
pool expertise in highly targeted areas, our R&D teams also
interact with the external world through collaboration with experts,
researchers, international universities, graduate schools and
institutions.
Finally, our company seeks for improvement in production processes and quality control.
It
is also committed to improve its environmental performance, including
sustainable development initiatives, such as saving energy and raw
materials, and limiting carbon dioxide emissions.
