In 2004, the uvex safety group acquired shares in the Swedish company SwedSafe AB, giving it access to new cutting-edge technology in hearing protection. SwedSafe specializes in the production of earplugs and manufactures them for worldwide distribution through the uvex safety group. Through constant innovation and investment in production, a strong focus has been placed on the sustainable orientation of the factory and buildings. For example, no waste water is produced during the manufacture of earplugs, as water consumption is optimised so that the small amount of production water evaporates during manufacture. SwedSafe still manufactures in Sweden today, with a strong focus on sustainable production and in-house research and development.
