Unleashing Growth: How Saf-Gard Made Waves This Year!

Listen up, folks! We’ve got some exciting news to share: Saf-Gard Safety Shoe Company has made it in the top 10 on the Triad Business Journal’s list of the top 50 fastest growing businesses in the North Carolina Triad! This marks our 12th appearance on this prestigious list since it began, making our first showing during its inaugural year. We were the only company in this year’s class which appeared when it started back in 1999. This isn’t just a plaque on the wall—it’s a testament to the hard work and determination of our team.

 

Grinding Forward: A Year of Bold Moves and Big Growth at Saf-Gard

This past year has been a whirlwind of activity here at Saf-Gard. We’re not just sitting back and enjoying the ride; we’re pushing forward and expanding like never before. Here’s how we’re forging our legacy:

  1. Bringing on Industrial Protection Products: We’ve added prescription safety eyewear to our arsenal by acquiring Industrial Protection Products in the Northeast. Now, we can ensure your vision is as protected as your feet. This service will be hitting all our operating regions in the coming years. It’s all about safety, folks!
  2. Going Global with Safer Safety: We didn’t stop there. We took a big leap into the UK by purchasing Safer Safety. This opens up new manufacturing opportunities, allowing us to serve our customers better and roll out new products faster, all while investing in cutting-edge materials and technology. We’re thinking bigger and reaching farther.
  3. Strong U.S. Expansion: Our growth doesn’t stop at the Atlantic. We joined forces with Summit Safety in the Northwest and Quenvold's Safety Shoes in California, expanding our presence across the United States—yes, even in Hawaii! We’re ready to roll out our products to more hardworking folks, whatever their zip code may be.

Our Team: The Backbone of Saf-Gard

Let’s get real: none of this would be possible without our dedicated team. Every day, they roll up their sleeves, putting in the hard work to ensure we deliver top-notch safety gear to our customers. They’re the backbone of this company, and their commitment to excellence is what drives us forward.

A Big Thank You

We want to give a shoutout to our customers and partners. Your support is what keeps us going, and we appreciate every single one of you. We’re proud to serve the workers who keep our communities moving.

What’s Next?

While we’re pumped about hitting the #10 spot, we’re just getting warmed up. Our vision for growth is bigger than ever, and we’re not slowing down. We’re committed to bringing quality products and superior service to even more folks. If you’re thinking about selling your safety shoe company, give us a shout! We’re always seeking out ways to grow our Saf-Gard family and bring our services to hardworking folks across the country.
