Premier Suppliers of Protective Clothing
Although we at XCO Group began our business as a retail sports outlet in 1987, the increasing demand for branded corporate clothing, team wear, promotional items, and workwear, which includes protective clothing and associated equipment, was instrumental in the extension of the scope of our operations, which now includes a number of ranges of these goods.
Today, XCO Group is a unique catalogue wholesaler, utilising a fast, efficient system that clearly displays catalogues of our product ranges, with comprehensive descriptions of products in each sub-category, such as protective clothing. If what you are after exists, it is probably available via XCO.
The Time Was Right
Our early success and a broader, more diversified marketplace indicated that the time was right for a more comprehensive and sophisticated setup, which became XCO Group, with our protective clothing section being one department. The establishment and inclusion of our own XCO Group manufacturing, printing, and embroidery facilities further extended the range of goods and services on offer from us.
Manage, Control, and Satisfy Delivery Deadlines
Owning, operating, managing, and controlling these business units enable us to have a firm grip on the overall quality, service standards, and turnaround times of the merchandise we offer our customers.
Unlike many other concerns, which make extensive use of other organisations to affix customers’ branding insignia to their protective clothing orders and other goods, we do it all in-house. Our track record of meeting deadlines and timely delivery reflects just how beneficial it is – to us and our customers – to have this infrastructure that allows us to omit engaging sub-contractors for certain functions.
Protective Clothing Categories
· Disposable Wear – accordingly designed for one-off jobs, tasks, or activities for which the protecting garment may become contaminated and should be disposed of after a single use.
· Dust Coats and Aprons – to keep the wearer’s own clothes clean, and dust-, dirt-, and debris-free.
· High Visibility, Reflective Vests and Safety Vests – typically worn over existing garments, workwear, or safety wear and uniforms. Some models are available in bright, neon-like colours to increase daytime visibility. All are fitted with reflective strips, which enable the wearer to also be visible at night, since the strips reflect residual, ambient, and artificial light.
· Hospitality and Chef Wear – a must in the hospitality industry and for chefs preparing foods in a busy, often compact, and crowded kitchen environment, where accidental spills and stains do occur. Kitchens, everyone, and everything in this space should be kept as hygienic, neat, and clean as possible, likewise the personnel who handle and serve freshly prepared food.
· Overalls and Conti Suits – also protect the wearer from any number of occupation-specific dirt, dust, and grime. Typically worn by those engaged in physical activities, such as painting, packing, handling, loading, digging, operating machinery, building, manufacturing, and many more jobs. Overalls are one-piece protective garments, while Conti suits consist of two pieces – pants, plus a matching jacket. Both are designed for the same functional purposes
· Rain And Freezer Wear – waterproof clothing to protect the wearer from direct water exposure (rain) and the icy, wet, and moist conditions in large industrial freezers that keep foodstuffs fresh and are used to store bulk supplies of meat, poultry, vegetables, and other fresh foods. This type of protective clothing is worn over the individual’s own clothes, and is available in one or two pieces. Both variants feature a hood to protect the head and sensitive scalp from cold, damp, and rain
· Security Wear – it is vital that people employed in the security sectors be easily and clearly identifiable, as well as attired in clothing that is relevant to their occupation
