Perspectives futures des innovations en matière de sécurité
Alors que l’année 2025 avance, nous réfléchissons au parcours remarquable qui nous a menés ici : 75 ans de dévouement à la protection des mains et des pieds. La célébration de notre anniversaire d’exception en 2024 nous a rappelé la passion qui anime tout ce que nous faisons. Cette même passion pour la sécurité et l'innovation continue de nous guider alors que nous façonnons l'avenir de la sécurité au travail avec de nouvelles solutions.
Ejendals – Protection des personnes depuis 1949
Fondée en 1949 par Valfrid Ejendal dans la charmante ville de Leksand, en Suède, Ejendals, à l’origine une petite entreprise familiale, est devenue l’un des principaux fabricants d'équipements de protection individuelle (EPI). Aujourd'hui leader reconnu du marché en Scandinavie et au-delà, notre entreprise est réputée pour ses gants de protection TEGERA et ses chaussures de sécurité JALAS de haute qualité.
Dès le début, la devise de notre fondateur était simple :
« Contactez-nous dès aujourd'hui si vous avez besoin de marchandises demain. »
Valfrid Ejendal
Valfrid Ejendal était convaincu que la sécurité devait toujours être une priorité absolue et que nos clients devaient avoir accès aux produits dont ils avaient besoin sans délai. Cet engagement en faveur d'un service rapide et d'une protection fiable a jeté les bases de l'entreprise Ejendals que vous connaissez aujourd'hui.

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.
