Worldwide, people think of the Austrian city of Salzburg as a popular holiday destination, culinary capital or the birthplace of Wolfgang A. Mozart. By contrast, it is less well known that the most cutting-edge and high-quality protective clothing for emergency services come from here. For more than three decades, the Salzburg-based company TEXPORT has been taking on the responsible task of developing and manufacturing high-tech protective clothing, which benefits emergency services around the globe.
Three decades of experience
TEXPORT’s head offices have been in the heart of Europe, specifically in Salzburg, since 1992. ‘From the outset, my goal was to become the world leader in the field of high-quality protective clothing,’ says Mr Otmar Schneider, stating his ambitious goal at the time. More than 30 years later, the still family-run company is actually one of the global technology leaders in high-quality protective clothing. But the company still has to consolidate its position as an innovative technology leader, day after day. It therefore invests considerable effort and financial resources into research and development. A large number of trend-setting and innovative product features and patents underline TEXPORT’s leading role. Since 2021, Schneider’s daughter Nicole Heinemann has also been a member of the Management Board and has successfully led the 700-strong company through the challenges of the present with a strong drive for innovation.
High-tech made in Europe
The uncompromising processing in the company’s own three European production facilities, as well as the use of state-of-the-art high-tech materials and manufacturing techniques, some of which can only be implemented in this form at TEXPORT, have resulted in a considerable track record: emergency workers in 46 countries worldwide rely on TEXPORT products to carry out their often life-threatening work. The product portfolio covers pretty much every area of activity of emergency personnel and includes the segments Firewear, Wildland, Technical Assistance, Stationwear, Workwear, and Accessories. Thanks to its uncompromising quality standards, TEXPORT products repeatedly win out against those of its strong competitors in international tenders. From lightweight, single-layer outfits for forest firefighting to complex outfits for indoor firefighting, fire departments such as those in Germany, Austria, Switzerland the Netherlands, South America and Singapore rely on TEXPORT’s wide range of products. The company slogan ‘Protecting You’ is put into practice by every employee, every day.
Safety and comfort are not mutually exclusive
In addition to the use of high-quality, modern high-tech materials and outstanding workmanship, an optimal fit also contributes significantly to the protective effect of work clothing. That’s why great attention is also paid to the comfort of the products at TEXPORT. ‘Touch it, put it on, and feel the difference!’ is the customer service team’s motto. Thanks to ergonomically preformed garment parts or cuts adapted to the individual body shape, outfits from TEXPORT also offer optimum comfort and fit for any use, which significantly contributes to the wearer’s ability to perform.
The right solution for every requirement
In order to ensure the most advanced protective clothing is accessible to customers, TEXPORT has a dense network of dealers and sales partners around the world. TEXPORT is also able to implement all country-specific requirements or individual requests to the letter.
It is precisely this combination of the best workmanship, the use of high-tech materials and optimal functionality that leads more than 1,100 customers to choose TEXPORT products every year.
