Who is Uvex and what does it make?
Uvex is a German manufacturer of personal protective equipment for work, founded in 1926 and headquartered in Fürth, in northern Bavaria. The range covers respiratory protection with the silv-Air family in classes FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3, cut-resistant gloves from the phynomic family, protective footwear such as the "1 x craft" model and S3 insulated boots from the "3 asphaltpro" series, plus safety helmets with an integrated eyewear support system (IES) and variants with MIPS technology for lateral impact. For customers in Romania we can quote equipment from these categories for equipping production staff.
In the occupational safety segment, the uvex group includes the brands uvex safety, laservision, Heckel and HexArmor (protective gloves), while Alpina belongs to the sports segment. Glove production, for example, has a dedicated unit in Lüneburg, and the products are CE marked, in line with the EN standards applicable to each category.
In automotive, metallurgy, construction or chemicals, the uvex range covers the complete equipment of an operator — from respiratory and eye protection to gloves and footwear — which is useful when you want a single supplier for several categories of personal protective equipment.
What do we supply from the Uvex range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| silv-Air Respiratory Protection Family | Disposable filtering half masks in classes FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3, for protection against solid and liquid particles in the air, with filtration levels increasing from FFP1 to FFP3. Used in dusty workshops, paint shops or areas with aerosol exposure. The customer must tell us the type of airborne contaminant and its estimated concentration so that the correct filtration class can be chosen. |
| phynomic Protective Gloves Family | Cut-resistant gloves with a thin coating that keeps the tactile sensitivity needed for handling small parts, also available in chemical-resistant variants. Used for precision assembly, handling sheet metal or working with cutting tools. The customer must state the type of risk (cut, chemical, mechanical) and the level of dexterity needed for the operation. |
| "1 x craft" and "3 asphaltpro" Protective Footwear Series | Protective footwear for industrial and construction environments — the "1 x craft" model for general use and "3 asphaltpro", S3-classified insulated boots designed for work on hot surfaces such as freshly laid asphalt. The customer must state the protection class required (S1-S3) and the temperature conditions at the workplace. |
| Safety Helmets with IES System and MIPS Technology | Head protection helmets with an integrated system for holding safety glasses (IES), removing the discomfort of separate straps, also available in variants with MIPS technology that reduces the force transmitted to the head in an oblique lateral impact. Typical application: construction sites and industrial halls with a risk of falling objects. The customer must state whether compatibility with safety glasses or an attached ear defender is needed. |

How do we supply Uvex in Romania?
We supply uvex equipment made to order through EU supply channels, usually in 1–4 weeks for quantities larger than the stock currently available externally. For a correct quotation we need the sizes required, the protection classes requested (for example FFP2 or S3) and the number of pieces per category of equipment. We do not hold our own stock for the whole range and we do not promise permanent availability in every size — we check case by case before confirming. The product data comes from the manufacturer's technical documentation.
The certifications specific to each product are taken from the individual datasheet; personalisation with your own markings is outside our offer.
Frequently asked questions about Uvex
What is the difference between uvex pheos and uvex ultrashield safety glasses?
uvex pheos focuses on an ergonomic design and a wide field of view, suitable for long wear during the working day. uvex ultrashield adds a lens treatment with increased scratch and fogging durability, useful in environments with temperature or humidity variations. The choice between the two depends on the actual working conditions and on how long the glasses are worn continuously.
Do you supply uvex protective equipment in Romania?
Yes, we bring in safety glasses, gloves and protective footwear from the uvex range to order, starting from the exact product code or name. We do not keep this range on the shelf, and on order the lead time is usually 1–4 weeks, depending on the product and the size. We recommend stating the size and the protection standard required by the job description.
What do I need to specify for an order of uvex phynomic gloves?
The hand size according to the standard used by uvex is needed, as well as the type of mechanical risk present at the workplace: cut, abrasion or puncture. If the gloves are used near oil or other substances, mention this too, as it influences the recommended coating variant. The estimated quantity helps to set a realistic supply time.
What respiratory protection classes does the uvex silv-Air mask have?
The uvex silv-Air mask is available in classes FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3, each corresponding to a different level of filtration of airborne particles. The right class depends on the type and concentration of dust or aerosols present at the workplace, usually established through the employer's risk assessment. Wearing comfort varies between models, depending on the shape of the mask.
