SAFETY WEAR
SINCE 1978
IHSAN Safety Wear began in 1978 as a small glove-knitting unit in Karachi, built around 15 Japanese Shima Seiki knitting machines. Nearly five decades later, the operation runs on 300+ computerized knitting machines across 7, 10, 13 and 15 gauge ranges, alongside seamless terry loop-pile machines for specialty gloves.
What began as a single line of plain knitted gloves for the Japanese, German, Australian and UK markets has grown into a full-scale safety wear manufacturer exporting across North America, South America, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and the Far East.
