What Singer Safety does

Singer Safety, operating as SINGER Frères SAS, is a French personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacturer founded in 1902 and headquartered in Loon-Plage (Craywick, 59279), France. The company designs, produces, and distributes a full head-to-toe PPE catalogue spanning head protection (industrial and forestry helmets, notably the HIMAFOR forestry system), body protection (clothing and high-visibility ranges), hand protection (cut- and chemical-resistant gloves including a B-F cut-protection line), foot protection (safety footwear including ESD-rated lines such as BOLT, MONZA, AVILA, SPA), and single-use disposables. Differentiated in-house technology includes the proprietary WorkFood® food-contact coating, a TPU membrane platform, and ESD compound formulations targeted at regulated and electronics environments.

The business operates a dual-channel go-to-market combining an authorized distributor network — actively expanded through a "Become a Distributor" recruitment flow — with a first-party e-commerce storefront supporting multilingual sales across France, Spain, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Italy, and international (English) markets. The company is privately held, with no disclosed ownership by an industrial group, no M&A history, no external funding rounds, and no publicly listed leadership team. Commercial positioning is supported by a refreshed 2026–2027 product catalogue and an active social media presence across Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The absence of disclosed revenue, headcount, and named end-customer accounts limits external triangulation of operating scale.
