About Us

National Safety Apparel’s family business is to protect your family working in the toughest industries, helping them get the job done safely and getting home to you, day after day.

We’ve contributed to the fabric of America since our modest beginnings in the midst of the Great Depression.

In 1935, Walter “Wally” Grossman began developing and manufacturing heat and thermal protective apparel for foundry workers, steel pipe manufacturers and welders in his father’s basement in Cleveland, Ohio.

Today we are a fourth generation, family owned business that is proud to manufacture in the USA and serve the toughest members of the workforce with our six FR clothing brands and three safety brands.

Innovation isn’t just our tagline. It’s how we define ourselves. With more women entering the workforces in the oil and gas, utility and STEM industries, we’re proud to be able to provide better FR clothing options for women through our acquisition of HauteWork.

National Safety Apparel’s diverse house of FR clothing and safety brands are all dedicated to one critical mission:

Protecting America’s utility, manufacturing, and steel workers in the field and our armed forces on the battlefield.
