Hortolândia Students Participate in Giro Safetline and Discover How Safety Footwear is Produced

Giro Safetline welcomed students from E. E. Professor Antônio Zanluchi, from the Technical Course in Administration of Hortolândia, for an immersion into the world of the safety footwear industry. 

The initiative took place in partnership with the Hortolândia City Hall, through the Industrial Tourism program, which brings students closer to the productive environment and sector opportunities. 

During the visit, the young participants closely observed the processes, technologies, and innovations that make Safetline one of Brazil's leading EPI manufacturers.

Design and Innovation as Allies for Workplace Safety

The program began with a lecture led by Victor Smilgys, Safetline's Industrial Director. He presented the evolution of EPIs and demonstrated how modern safety footwear combines protection, comfort, and style.

Victor highlighted the company's commitment to breaking the myth that safety footwear must be heavy or lack visual identity. Among the solutions presented, students learned about:

  • Exclusive closure system, offering greater practicality and modernity
  • Models with casual design and customizable color options
  • Technologies that combine industrial protection and everyday comfort

Safetline also stood out for being a pioneer in applying some of these technologies in Brazil.

Technology and Production on the Factory Floor

During the factory tour, students closely observed the production stages and technologies used in footwear manufacturing.

One of the presented differentiators was the in-house manufacturing of composite toecaps, responsible for protecting toes against impacts. This process ensures greater quality control, traceability, and safety.

Furthermore, students observed the factory's operational routine and understood how organization and innovation go hand-in-hand within the industry.

Traceability and Quality Control

Another noteworthy aspect was Safetline's traceability and visual management system. 

In the warehouse sector, students observed the analysis and control of the leather used in production. 

Each batch undergoes rigorous evaluations to ensure a high standard of quality, and only approved materials proceed to the assembly line.

How Safetline Connects Industry and Market

Participants also learned about the company's commercial model.

Safetline operates strongly in the B2B market, supplying safety footwear to large industries, distributors, and resellers in various regions of the country.

This strategy strengthens its national presence and consolidates its operations in the occupational safety segment.

Giro Safetline Reinforces Connection Between Innovation and Professional Development

Giro Safetline demonstrated that protection goes far beyond a resistant shoe. Today, the EPI industry involves technology, engineering, design, research, and continuous innovation.

The experience brought students closer to the reality of modern industry, encouraging professional development and presenting new career possibilities in the industrial sector.

More than just presenting production processes, the event reinforced Safetline's commitment to innovation, education, and care for people.
