What Airtox International does

Airtox International, legally Airtox Industries A/S, is a Danish safety footwear company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Copenhagen (Virum), Denmark. The company develops, manufactures, and sells a wide range of certified protective shoes and boots globally, targeting industrial and construction workers, safety-conscious professionals, and a secondary "Modern Warriors" persona of performance-oriented end users. With a headcount of 11-50 and no disclosed institutional backing, Airtox operates as a privately held, founder-era specialty consumer brand.

The company's product and technology foundation sits in its in-house R&D facility, LAB 32 in Copenhagen, where it has developed a portfolio of six branded proprietary technologies: Whitelayer® (a lightweight anti-penetration layer), StyroSoft® (shock-absorbing midsoles, iterated from version 2.8 through 4.0 with up to 72% rebound effect), Aqua-Cell® (waterproof breathable membrane), Cool&Me® (temperature-regulating insoles with a hexagonal microchannel system), Force-Grip® (slip-resistant outsoles), and PowerBreeze® (upper-material airflow system). These technologies underpin roughly 20+ SKUs across multiple series — the premium 2025-launched ATX line (FS55 ATX, FS22 ATX, FL44 ATX), the waterproof RS series (RS33, RS66, RS67), the transparent TPU TX and GL series with Whitelayer® protection, and the StyroSoft®-equipped FS/FW/FX/FM/FL ranges. Products are engineered and designed in Copenhagen and assembled in selected countries worldwide.

Airtox generates revenue through hardware sales of safety footwear via a dual distribution model: a global authorized dealer network (actively recruited through an online "Apply for dealership" program and supported with marketing and training) combined with direct-to-consumer e-commerce through its own online store and a physical store locator. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company has invested heavily in brand-building beyond the product, including co-created sports properties (Airtox Dominance Fighting Championship with UFC veteran Mark O. Madsen, Airtox FACEOFF freestyle gymnastics league), athlete ambassadorships (Mike Jensen, Oliver Hartkopp), and a charitable partnership with the Danish Red Cross — all anchored on a "FEAR NOTHING" brand philosophy.
