Drei-Punkt

What Drei-Punkt does

Drei-Punkt Berufskleidung GmbH is a Cologne-based, family-owned German manufacturer of customized protective workwear serving industrial buyers across Europe. Founded in 1945 and operating continuously for over 80 years, the company produces eight branded series spanning multinorm protection, arc flash (IEC 61482-2 Class 1 and Class 2/7 kA), welding (EN ISO 11611), heat/flame (EN ISO 11612), chemical (EN ISO 13034), molten metal (SteelProof, AluProof), high-visibility (EN ISO 20471, EN 17353), electrostatic (EN ISO 1149-5), and general-purpose workwear (Titan). Each garment carries a broad set of EN/IEC certifications and the majority are certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, with company-specific fit, PSA emblems, and name badges applied as part of a customization service.

The firm employs 120+ people at a single Cologne production site, supported by European-based production partners and a proprietary quality information system that enables traceability of fabric batches to individual certified garments. Its technology stack centers on textile engineering for multinorm and arc-flash protection rather than software, with lightweight digital infrastructure including SolarEdge Monitoring API for live sustainability metrics, self-hosted Matomo analytics, and Microsoft Teams for customer communication. No e-commerce channel exists; distribution is direct B2B via phone and email quoting.

Drei-Punkt monetizes through one-off and multi-year customized B2B contracts with both SMEs and large corporations, with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rate cards. The customer base is distributed across energy, aluminum/steel production, chemical processing, railway, ports, airports, and shipbuilding/foundries. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, amfori BSCI membership, and EcoVadis Platinum (June 2026), positioning it as a sustainability-credentialed specialist in the European industrial PPE market. Management consists of co-Managing Directors Hans Joachim Heinen and Thomas Heinen, alongside Mathias Nöldemann, with no external investors, parent company, or M&A activity reported.
