SIOEN

Innovation is in our DNA
The history of Sioen Firefighter Clothing dates back to 1927, when the company, at the time named Vidal, was founded in Graulhet – the former leather capital in the southwest of France. Already at that time, we reshaped the firefighting industry with innovative garments, such as leather protection jackets.
In 2001, Sioen Industries acquired Vidal and placed the brand under the competent management of its Apparel Division. Now, well into the 21st century, Sioen Firefighter Clothing is renowned for its unique expertise. From engineering fabrics, to inhouse testing, to manufacturing, to maintenance…we try our best to live up to our motto: Protection through innovation.

We help firefighters excel
Our continuous efforts are centred around innovating to better protect our heroes. We constantly test our new solutions with firefighters from around the globe and keep their experience and feedback at the centre of all our innovations. We also try to anticipate change in the industry and adapt accordingly. This proactive approach combined with nearly a century of unmatched technical knowledge, has resulted in firefighters excelling worldwide.
Since 1927, we have supplied over a million fire suits worldwide. Whether we protect firefighters in the heat of Dubai, in Latvia’s cool weather or in the crowded city of Paris: we help them all excel.
