Ein Blick in die Zukunft der Sicherheitsinnovationen
Auf unserem Weg ins Jahr 2025 blicken wir auf die bemerkenswerte Reise zurück, die uns hierher geführt hat – 75 Jahre Engagement für Hand- und Fußschutz. Die Feier unseres bedeutenden Jubiläums im Jahr 2024 hat uns an die Leidenschaft erinnert, die hinter allem steht, was wir tun. Dieselbe Leidenschaft für Sicherheit und Innovation wird uns auch weiterhin bei der Gestaltung der Zukunft der Arbeitsplatzsicherheit mit innovativen Lösungen leiten.
Ejendals – Schutz für Menschen seit 1949
Das 1949 von Valfrid Ejendal in der charmanten Kleinstadt Leksand in Schweden gegründete Unternehmen Ejendals hat sich von einem kleinen Familienbetrieb zu einem führenden Hersteller von persönlicher Schutzausrüstung (PSA) entwickelt. Heute genießt unser Unternehmen einen herausragenden Ruf als Marktführer in Skandinavien und darüber hinaus und ist für seine hochwertigen TEGERA Sicherheitshandschuhe und JALAS Sicherheitsschuhe bekannt.
Das Motto unseres Gründers lautete von Beginn an:
„Kontaktieren Sie uns noch heute, wenn Sie morgen Produkte benötigen.“
Valfrid Ejendal
Für Valfrid Ejendal hatte Sicherheit immer oberste Priorität. Deshalb sollten unsere Kunden ohne Verzögerung Zugang zu den benötigten Produkten haben. Dieses Engagement für schnellen Service und zuverlässigen Schutz legte den Grundstein für das Unternehmen Ejendals, wie Sie es heute kennen.

From Safety Gloves to Comprehensive Protection
Over the years, we’ve expanded our product offerings, starting with safety gloves and later adding safety shoes in the 1970s. Our collaboration with the Finnish company Urho Viljanmaa OY, which produces safety shoes under the brand name "JALAS," was a significant step forward. In 2008, we formed the Ejendals Group, which continues to produce and distribute safety gloves under the brand "TEGERA" and safety shoes under the "JALAS" name. We’ve even expanded our range to include items such as work socks, insoles, and protective sleeves, ensuring comprehensive protection and comfort for workers.
Ejendals' Holistic Approach to Workplace Safety
But at Ejendals, we believe safety is about more than just products. Our mission is to reduce workplace injuries through a holistic approach that includes consultation, education, and ongoing support. We know that hands and feet are the most vulnerable in workplace accidents, accounting for more than half of all injuries. That’s why our "Ejendals Safety Concept" goes beyond offering top-tier products—it encompasses training, safety assessments, and continuous feedback to help our customers create safer working environments.
Honoring 75 Years of Safety with a Focus on the Future
Our journey has been one of hard work, dedication, and a commitment to our founding values. "It’s important to us to maintain the family feel within Ejendals, even as we continue to grow each year," says Marcus Ejendal, who has been leading the company since 2012 as the third generation of the Ejendal family.
Our history is a driving force for our future, and we’re dedicated to continuing the legacy started by my grandfather, Valfrid, and my father, Per-Olof, who sadly passed away in December 2024. Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in the company to protect more hands and feet, reach more markets, and provide even better protection. Our vision extends into the next 25 years, ensuring that we continue to build on our legacy and that Ejendals will mark its 100th anniversary with even greater success.
Marcus Ejendal
As we move forward, our focus remains on innovation, quality, and strengthening our presence in markets around the world. We’re proud to continue protecting the hands and feet of workers everywhere, just as we have for the past 75 years.
