Steiner Industries

About Steiner Industries

Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Steiner Industries has spent five decades establishing itself as a leading manufacturer of industrial safety clothing and protective equipment. From the fabrication floor to the welding booth, the brand's core mission has always been the same: keep workers safe without sacrificing comfort or productivity.

What sets Steiner apart in the crowded PPE marketplace is the depth of engineering behind every product. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, Steiner designs its gear around the specific demands of different welding processes — Stick, MIG, and TIG each present distinct hazards, and Steiner's product lines are tailored to address them individually. That application-specific approach has earned the brand a loyal following among professional welders, fabricators, and industrial workers worldwide.

Welding Jackets Built for the Job

One of Steiner's most recognizable product categories is its extensive lineup of welding jackets. These garments span a wide range of materials — from heavyweight grain cowhide leather for maximum spark and spatter resistance, to flame retardant (FR) cotton and hybrid FR cotton/leather constructions that balance protection with all-day wearability. Signature lines like the Weldlite Plus™ and Weld-Cool™ reflect Steiner's commitment to innovation, offering welders real choices based on their environment, process, and comfort preferences.

Welding Gloves for Every Process

Steiner's catalog of welding gloves is among the most comprehensive in the industry. Whether a welder needs the dexterity of a TIG glove or the heavy-duty protection of a Stick glove, Steiner has purpose-built options to match. Proprietary technologies such as ThermoCore™ foam backing, IronFlex® kidskin construction, and Kevlar® Spark Cuff™ options demonstrate the brand's investment in material science. Gloves are available in premium grain goatskin, kidskin, cowhide, pigskin, and deerskin — each chosen for specific performance characteristics.

A Legacy of Industrial Safety Innovation

Beyond jackets and gloves, Steiner Industries produces a broad range of complementary protective apparel — including aprons, sleeves, bibs, leggings, hoods, and welding blankets — making it possible to outfit an entire welding operation under one trusted brand. With an unwavering focus on worker well-being and continuous product development, Steiner Industries remains a benchmark name in industrial safety gear.
