Safety Wercs

What Safety Wercs does

Safety Wercs is a private PPE distributor headquartered at 7620 NW 6th Avenue, Boca Raton, Florida. The company sells disposable personal protective equipment under its own brand, with its catalog built around a single core SKU — Blue Examination Nitrile Gloves in 4.5 mil thickness, available in sizes Small through 2XL and sold in cases of 1,000 units at $37 per case. The product is described as FDA-registered, latex-free, allergy-friendly, ambidextrous, and finger-textured for grip. The catalog page on the company's Shopify storefront lists only this product, suggesting a deliberately focused single-product strategy rather than a broad PPE assortment.

The company's go-to-market is multi-channel and domestically focused. Safety Wercs distributes through large chain store retailers, sells direct wholesale to large companies and buying groups, and operates its own DTC e-commerce site at safetywercs.com (built on Shopify). It supplements the catalog with a custom-sourcing capability — customers can call 800-219-1999 or submit a contact form to request non-catalog PPE items — and captures demand via a newsletter signup and basic website/e-commerce presence.

The business model is straightforward hardware sales of commoditized PPE to three customer segments: health facilities, large enterprises/buying groups, and homes/offices. The company self-reports serving "thousands" of these customers. Revenue model is unit-based per-case pricing with pay-as-you-go billing. No management team, funding history, parent company, or institutional investors are disclosed in available data; ownership appears to be founder/operator controlled. All products are stated to be made in the USA, with overseas supply relationships used when necessary.
