For more than four decades, Lakeland Fire + Safety has been at the forefront of protective solutions, dedicated to safeguarding workers, first responders, and communities around the world. Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, the company was built on a simple but powerful mission: Protecting Your People. Every Lakeland team member, from product developers and designers to sales and service experts, is united by this commitment, driving innovation and reliability in personal protective equipment (PPE).

Fire Service Excellence

Within the fire service, Lakeland has deepened its impact through the strategic acquisitions of Eagle FR, Jolly, LHD, Pacific Helmets, and Veridian, strengthening the company’s ability to deliver next-generation firefighting gear and tailored service concepts. From structural fire to wildland and specialised rescue operations, Lakeland’s solutions are engineered to meet the evolving demands of modern firefighters. Whether it’s advanced helmet technology, flame-resistant garments, innovative footwear, or customised service models, Lakeland provides comprehensive firefighting PPE that enhances both safety and performance.

Expanding Protection Across Industries

Beyond firefighting, Lakeland delivers a broad portfolio of mission-critical protective apparel for some of the world’s most hazardous work environments. Offerings include disposable garments, high-performance FR/AR clothing, hazmat suits, and cleanroom apparel, trusted by industries such as electric utilities, oil and gas, petrochemicals, hazardous waste management, chemical handling, and cleanroom operations. These time-tested solutions reflect over 40 years of expertise in keeping workers safe where risks are greatest.

Supply Chain Excellence

What sets Lakeland apart is their nearly 360-degree approach to supply chain management, ensuring customers receive the right PPE at the right time. They recognise that safety is urgent—when protective gear is needed, there is no room for delays. By partnering with a global network of selected distributors and supported by knowledgeable field sales and customer service teams, Lakeland delivers rapid access to the products and expertise that matter most.

Customer-Centred Innovation

At Lakeland Fire + Safety, simplicity and confidence are prioritised in PPE selection. Through data-backed product development and expert consultation, the company helps organisations evaluate their safety programs, compare garment options, schedule site visits, and choose the right protective apparel for their specific needs. This approach reflects the vision of making world-class protection straightforward and accessible, while never compromising on quality.

A Legacy of Protection

Lakeland’s history is a testament to experience, innovation, and proven performance. Over the last 40+ years, Lakeland Fire + Safety has grown from a trusted U.S. supplier into a respected global brand, consistently shaping the future of worker protection. Today, as industries evolve and hazards become more complex, the mission remains unwavering—to provide durable, innovative, and reliable PPE that keeps people safe in the toughest environments.

Lakeland Fire + Safety is more than a manufacturer; they are a partner in protection. Wherever safety is critical, Lakeland answers the call—delivering the products, expertise, and dedication needed to safeguard the world’s most essential workers.
