Falcon Safety Products

What Falcon Safety Products does

Falcon Safety Products, Inc. is a US-based manufacturer of compressed-gas dusters and signal horns, founded in 1953 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. The company operates two core product brands: Dust-Off, the leading consumer brand for compressed-gas electronics cleaning accessories including keyboard dusters, screen sprays, and microfiber cloths; and Falcon Signal Horns, which includes the ECO Sonic non-flammable safety horn (with a Global Warming Potential rating of 6, claimed as 99.5% lower than any competitor) and the Sonic Blast line. Supporting product categories include screen care kits, marine accessories (Line-Master Mooring Snubbers, rigging tape), wet wipes, and an Emergency Alarm Station. Falcon's underlying technology centers on expertise filling multiple propellant types (Dymel 152a, 134a, 1234ze, A-31 Isobutane) and proprietary Bitterant additive formulation designed to deter inhalant abuse. All products are manufactured in the USA, and the company claims worldwide distribution.

Falcon generates revenue through hardware product sales priced on a per-unit basis ranging from $14.99 for small horn units to $139.99 for the Emergency Alarm Station. Its go-to-market combines retailer and distributor channels with a formal OEM partnerships program offering private-label and custom compressed-gas manufacturing. The company also targets marine and outdoor safety markets through US Coast Guard-compliant signal horns. In October 2023, Falcon was acquired by Lighthouse for the Blind – St. Louis, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has employed blind individuals since 1933; proceeds from Falcon products now support Lighthouse's community outreach programs. As part of this transition, Falcon relocated from Branchburg, NJ to St. Louis, MO and opened two new Berkeley, Missouri facilities creating 30+ jobs for visually impaired workers. The direct e-commerce channel is temporarily closed for a management transition.

• 3M (Electronics Cleaning): Diversified manufacturer with a cleaning and electronics maintenance product line that overlaps with Falcon's screen care and duster categories. Offers broader industrial cleaning solutions rather than specialized consumer dusters.

Emerging players
