IFR Workwear is a leading provider of high-quality flame and arc resistant workwear. Our range of protective clothing includes insulated and unlined coveralls and bib overalls, parkas, fleece, vests, pants, shirts, and accessories. These products are designed for many industries including oil and gas, petrochemical, mining, electrical, construction, railroad, and others.
The majority of our products are manufactured in North America and sold through distribution partners across Canada and parts of the USA. We use fabrics that have been tested and proven to meet industry standards. Most of our garments have 3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective striping that meet or exceed the reflective visibility requirements of the industry. We also offer customizations and adjustments to our products. Our Canadian headquarters include a large sewing department where we can offer our customers with a variety of additional services such as embroidered cresting, garment customizations and alterations to our products, heat seal treatments, sublimation printing, and much more.
For the mining and extraction industry, our ultrasoft hi-vis seven ounce and nine ounce deluxe coveralls are among our most popular and sought after product. However, we do offer a vast range of high visibility flame-resistant workwear designed for all seasons. From summer bomber hi-vis jackets to deluxe segmented striped work shirts, we can outfit any customer with the protective FR apparel that they need on site to get the job done safely.
For cold weather conditions, we have products such as our hi-vis insulated parka and bib pant, the three-in-one parka, and our quilted freezer jacket. We also offer hoods made from parka or fleece FR material for additional protection and warmth. Additionally, our IFR basewear top and bottom undergarments offer an extra layer of increased protection and comfort with a form-fitting stretch and soft fabric feel.
To help workers combat heat exhaustion and heat stress, we have our FR cooling technology products such as our neckbands, hard hat liners, and hard hat liners with neck shade that can help make a difference for employees who operate in hot working conditions.
In June 2023, IFR Workwear was acquired by Portwest, a leading protective wear company specializing in flame-resistant, high-visibility, workwear, hand and foot protection products, and a full range of personal protective equipment. With 120 years of experience in the retail world, Portwest has continuously proven its dedication to quality while pushing the boundaries in protection technologies. Together with Portwest, we will bring a new reinforced value proposition to customers in Canada with a mix of value for money, excellent service, continuous innovation in the PPE industries, and an expanded range of product offerings. These new products categories will include a much larger selection of PPE gloves, flame resistant workwear, and hi-vis non-FR garments.
We look forward to forging new partnerships and fueling the success for our fellow Canadian companies across all sectors.
