AX Materials will be attending the ASSP Safety 2025 event from July 22nd to 23rd at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
Matt Pennington will be walking the event with our material catalog and samples and sharing insights into how our materials are the new standard for glove protection. The AX Protective material range is designed to elevate safety to the extreme while offering comfort and durability that lasts. With exceptional abrasion resistance, as well as cut and fire protection, AX is raising the bar for what’s possible in glove design.
ASSP Safety 2025 provides workplace safety and health professionals with valuable opportunities to learn about best practices, industry trends, and product innovations. Their educational sessions offer practical information that safety professionals can immediately apply within their organizations. Hundreds of exhibitors will showcase innovative products and safety solutions designed to help organizations eliminate workplace hazards and reduce the risks of injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.
Matt is ready to meet and available to book on-site meetings. Let’s connect and explore how we can help you stay ahead and stay protected.
Coming Soon
We’ll be offering ASSP Safety attendees a sneak peek at two new materials. The first is a 1.05mm-thick design with an aggressive woven texture, engineered specifically for tough extrication work, rescue operations, and the oil and gas industry.
The second is a grain material that provides exceptional grip in dry, wet, and oily conditions. It also enhances PU performance in extremely cold environments, showing no decline in performance.
We’re excited to officially reveal these soon. Stay tuned.
Featured Materials
- AX G-Series: Built for industrial-strength grip, G-Series excels in wet, dry, and oily conditions. Originally engineered for oil and gas applications, it delivers unrelenting non-slip performance.
