PIP, Gore Collaborate on Worker Safety Gear

LATHAM, N.Y., Oct. 6, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- PIP Global Safety and W. L. Gore & Associates have announced a strategic collaboration aimed at advancing next-generation protective workwear for workers operating in some of the world's most demanding and hazardous environments. The partnership, which combines PIP Global Safety's expertise in worker protection with W. L. Gore & Associates' material science capabilities, will accelerate the development of innovative protective solutions that address increasingly complex workplace hazards.

PIP Global Safety, a global leader in personal protective equipment, and the Fabrics business within W. L. Gore & Associates, a global materials science company and owner of the GORE-TEX® Brand, are joining forces to deliver high-performance workwear that enhances protection, comfort, durability, and mobility, helping workers stay safer and perform at their best throughout the workday.

As part of the collaboration, PIP and the GORE-TEX® Brand are introducing the PIP® Multi-Hazard Workwear Collection, an innovative new platform recently showcased at the National Safety Council (NSC) Safety Congress & Expo. Designed for workers exposed to multiple workplace hazards, the collection combines protection against thermal, electrical, and chemical hazards into a single high-performance garment system.

The Multi-Hazard Workwear Collection addresses a longstanding challenge faced by many industrial workers: the need to wear multiple layers or specialized garments for different hazards. By delivering multiple forms of protection in one more comfortable garment, the collection helps simplify PPE selection, promotes wearer acceptance and use, reduces overall costs, and provides continuous protection throughout the workday.

Looking ahead, PIP and developers at the GORE-TEX® Brand expect the collaboration to serve as a catalyst for a pipeline of new product innovations over the coming quarters. By leveraging their complementary strengths in PPE design, worker insights, and material science innovation, the companies are well positioned to help shape the future of industrial workwear and deliver meaningful advancements in worker safety globally.
