PIP Global Safety (PIP; Latham, NY), a global provider of personal protective equipment, and the Fabrics business within W. L. Gore & Associates’, a global materials science company and owner of the GORE-TEX Brand, have announced a strategic collaboration focused on advancing next-generation protective workwear for workers operating in some of the world’s most demanding and hazardous environments.
By combining PIP’s experience in worker protection with Gore’s material science capabilities, the collaboration will accelerate the development of protective solutions that address increasingly complex workplace hazards. Together, the companies will deliver high-performance workwear that enhances protection, comfort, durability, and mobility, helping workers stay safer and perform at their best throughout the workday.
As part of the collaboration, PIP and the GORE-TEX Brand are introducing the PIP Multi-Hazard Workwear Collection, an innovative new platform recently showcased at the National Safety Council (NSC) Safety Congress & Expo. Designed for workers exposed to multiple workplace hazards, the collection combines protection against thermal, electrical, and chemical hazards into a single high-performance garment system.
The Multi-Hazard Workwear Collection addresses a longstanding challenge faced by many industrial workers: the need to wear multiple layers or specialized garments for different hazards. By delivering multiple forms of protection in one more comfortable garment, the collection helps simplify PPE selection, promotes wearer acceptance and use, reduces overall costs, and provides continuous protection throughout the workday.
