Services

Consulting across the full protective apparel lifecycle.

Engagements are scoped to what you actually need — a single project, an ongoing advisory role, or hands-on support through a launch.

Product Development & Innovation

Fabric and garment development for flame-resistant and protective end uses, from initial concept through commercialization and scale-up.

  • Fabric selection and performance testing guidance
  • Garment construction and design review
  • Technology transfer from concept to production

Standards Compliance

Guidance on protective fabric test protocols and ensemble compliance, drawn from two decades inside ASTM International's own standards committees — plus direct involvement with OSHA regulations and VPPPA safety programs.

  • Standards interpretation and compliance review
  • Test protocol selection and documentation
  • OSHA regulatory guidance and VPPPA program support
  • Preparation for third-party certification

Global Sourcing Relationships

Trusted contacts across the global protective fabric supply chain — including key relationships in Pakistan and the wider Middle East — built through years managing established product lines and sourcing programs, including work with Tencate's Netherlands-based supply chain and a sourcing initiative in China.

  • Introductions to vetted sourcing contacts, particularly in the Middle East and South Asia
  • Program and product-line management across existing supplier relationships
  • Guidance on supply chain risk and diversification options

Brand Launch & Market Expansion

End-to-end support for bringing a new protective apparel brand or product line to market — backed by a track record of launching six major brands, generating multi-million-dollar results across the portfolio. All six remain prevalent in the market today.

  • Go-to-market strategy and positioning
  • New market and channel expansion
  • Competitive and category analysis

Sales Strategy, Team Development & Product Training

Sales pipeline management and team leadership built from running multi-million-dollar protective apparel sales organizations — paired with over 20 years training thousands of sales professionals and end users. That means hands-on training for sales teams on how to confidently sell AR/FR-rated programs, and direct, on-site training for end users on how to properly wear, care for, and maintain their gear.

  • Sales process and pipeline design
  • Team structure and sales training on AR/FR programs
  • End-user training on proper wear, care, and maintenance
  • Key account and distributor strategy
