Globe is the largest and most trusted firefighter suit manufacturer in the world. This distinction has been earned since 1887 by providing legendary quality, customized gear that combines innovative design and construction methods, the skills of our experienced employees, the highest quality standards, and our state-of-the-art customized manufacturing equipment and processes. Our customers are large and small, urban and rural, and career and volunteer fire departments in 82 countries around the world.
Globe has introduced many of the materials, designs, and construction methods we now take for granted in firefighter suits. Globe was the first to use DuPont NOMEX® inherently flame resistant materials, 3M SCOTCHLITE® reflective materials, and expanded PTFE technology including GORE-TEX® and CROSSTECH® moisture barriers. Globe participated in the creation of NFPA 1971, and was the first to make firesuits exclusively to this industry standard and the first firesuit manufacturer in North America to be ISO 9001.
