Australian-based Protective Industrial Products completes acquisition of  Honeywell’s Personal Protective Equipment Business

Protective Industrial Products, Inc. has completed the acquisition of Honeywell’s Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Business. 

The acquired business includes globally recognised brands such as Fendall™, Fibre-Metal™, Howard Leight™, Bisley Workwear™, Puma Safety™, Morning Pride™, North™, Oliver™, Salisbury™, and others.

The move marks a significant step in Australian-based PIP’s growth journey, with the expansion delivering additional warehouses and jobs across Australia and New Zealand, courtesy of PIP dramatically upscaling its local operations.

The acquisition creates a world-class portfolio of protective equipment and solutions through the addition of powerful brands and products that are highly complementary to PIP’s. The combination broadens and strengthens PIP’s head-to-toe protection offering, covering worker safety, electrical safety, hearing protection, head protection, respiratory, fall protection, eye protection, footwear, first aid, and first responder equipment.

In addition, the acquisition expands PIP’s global manufacturing and distribution footprint to approximately 50 countries and will enhance supply chain and product development capabilities.

Curt Holtz, President and CEO of PIP, said, “This acquisition is an exciting moment for PIP and our industry that will enable us to offer more growth opportunities for our valued customers around the world by significantly enhancing our product offerings, geographic reach, and manufacturing capabilities.

“In combining the strengths of both companies, we are passionate about creating an industry leader that is more agile, more innovative, and more capable of providing unmatched expertise and service to help our customers grow.”

David Gazal, APAC CEO of PIP, added; “This is an exciting new chapter for our team and our customers. The move will be a significant one in the APAC region and will allow us to dramatically upscale our operations and create additional employment opportunities.

“The strength of PIP’s offering has always been strong but this acquisition further cements our position as market leaders, enhances our product line and increases our global footprint.”
