LION

LION: Committed to Community In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastation in Western NC and Eastern Tennessee, LION employees stepped up to help those in need, embodying our core value of being good corporate citizens. Our team collected and delivered 1,500+ essential items, from coats and heaters to pet supplies, to families and first responders who lost everything. Together, we brought warmth and relief to resilient community members, showing that LION’s commitment goes beyond business—we’re here to support communities in times of crisis.   #LIONGivesBack #CommunityFirst #CorporateResponsibility

Today, we honor the heroes among us on National First Responders Day! From firefighters and EMTs to police officers and paramedics, first responders are the brave souls who run toward danger. They’re there in our moments of greatest need, putting their lives on the line to protect ours. Today, let’s take a moment to say thank you for the sacrifices they make daily. #NationalFirstRespondersDay

Earlier this month, LION celebrated National Manufacturing Day sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers - NAM. At events held by our North American manufacturing sites, we opened our doors to friends, family and local students to recognize our employees and educate the general public about the #manufacturinglife. I am proud of our team members and the work they do to manufacture, distribute, and maintain gear and uniforms for #firstresponders. And I am honored to lead a company that is a part of the great American Manufacturing sector. #madeinamerica #readyforaction Kentucky Association of Manufacturers

LION is a trailblazer in protective apparel, dedicated to keeping our heroes safe. Back in 2009, we introduced the IsoDri protective system, a breakthrough designed to reduce water intake in firefighters' turncoats. This crucial feature prevents trapped water from turning into dangerous steam and causing burns. Discover how IsoDri makes a difference and keeps our heroes safer daily: https://bit.ly/4dN98km.

The Chicago Fire Department is taking a significant step forward in PPE care and maintenance by adopting LION's innovative RedZone℠ CO2 cleaning technology as an enhancement to their advanced water-based cleaning for all 7,000 turnouts. This new technology will be used twice a year to ensure the cleanest gear possible for all Chicago firefighters. The first department in the U.S. to take this step. RedZone CO2 has been used as a cleaning method by departments across the U.S. for years, effectively removing harsh contaminants from sources such as lithium-ion batteries, paint, diesel, and more. In the past two years, departments have saved over $750,000 in replacement costs for gear that would typically be condemned due to exposure to harsh contaminants. This cutting-edge method eliminates up to 98% of harmful chemicals, protecting our brave firefighters while also promoting greener operations. As LION Safety Solutions continues its long-standing partnership with the CFD, we're proud to support their commitment to the health and safety of their members and the environment. This is a game-changer for fire service! Learn more about this transformative initiative here:  https://lnkd.in/gY6-fmWa

As a leader in safety gear for fire departments and training facilities for first responders, we’re committed to ensuring that both communities and firefighters are prepared for emergencies.
