Industrial protective apparel manufacturer serving safety workers nationwide
National Safety Apparel manufactures flame-resistant and protective workwear across three branded lines (DRIFIRE, Wild Things Gear, Enespro PPE). The tech stack is enterprise-standard (Salesforce, Dayforce, Tableau, Power BI) but signals operational friction: payroll coordination, supply-chain visibility, and data reconciliation dominate internal projects and pain points. Hiring accelerated toward manufacturing and operations roles, with junior talent inflow, suggesting active scaling of production or distribution capacity rather than product innovation.
