Safetline — For 50 years, advancing step by step with safety

Safetline's story began over half a century ago, with a visionary man: Rodolfo Smilgys, father of Jorge Smilgys, one of the company's founders. Rodolfo worked with welding equipment, manufacturing split leather gloves and safety footwear. At that time, safety certification did not exist, and Rodolfo, always ahead of his time, was part of the team that worked on creating a certification.

That's when the concern for workers' safety and comfort emerged. Initially, footwear was produced artisanally, using gluing, stitching, and nailing processes. Over time, the process evolved to assembled and glued footwear, until Safetline introduced a revolutionary innovation: footwear with direct injection onto the upper. An imported exclusivity that only Safetline had in Brazil.

This technology brought a new era for safety footwear, eliminating seams and nails and ensuring even greater protection for workers. Over time, Safetline footwear continued to evolve, incorporating processes such as strobel, of German origin, which ensures safety, quality, and comfort, without compromising durability.

Since then, there have been many updates and evolutions in the market, always highlighted by Safetline's pioneering spirit. Today, it is no coincidence that it receives recognition in awards, such as the Top of Mind from Revista Proteção (2024) and the achievement of 6th place as the most remembered brand by consumers in the entire prevention sector. This recognition is proof of Safetline's continuous commitment to providing the highest quality safety footwear.

Today, Safetline is a leader in the safety footwear market, recognized for its excellence and commitment to worker safety. The legacy of innovation and quality remains alive, thanks to the team's dedication and the support of clients and partners.

Long live Safetline, advancing step by step with safety.
