Wenaas AS is a division of Kwintet A/S, the leading European manufacturer and supplier of work wear, corporate clothing and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The group had a 2007 turnover of Euro 700 million and more than 4000 employees with Sales Offices in more than 11 countries.

 

Established in 1954, Wenaas AS has grown substantially over the last two decades, and through a group distribution network in Scandinavia, United Kingdom, USA, Germany, Holland and Azerbaijan we are now recognised as an international market leader in providing PPE and protective clothing solutions on a global basis.

 

In the United Kingdom, Wenaas UK enjoys a strong position as the leading supplier to the offshore oil and gas industry, and is also a major supplier to other land based industries.

 

The necessity to ensure major end user companies receive optimum service, innovative business solutions while at the same time being provided with competitive prices and cost reduction initiatives is totally recognised by Wenaas UK. And this has resulted in a Kwintet Group decision to expand its manufacturing facilities in Poland, Russia, Ukraine and North Africa, to assist in achieving our ambitions.

 

Group sourcing capabilities together with our own manufacturing has ensured service levels and quality of product have been maintained in tandem with a competitive pricing structure.

 

Using the extensive resources of our European Manufacturing facilities and our close relationship with key third party suppliers provides us with quality and service levels superior to our UK and European counterparts. As a key distributor and manufacturer of products, we feel that we can provide a greater degree of flexibility, resulting in innovative products of superior design and quality.

 

As an organisation, successfully providing Protective Clothing & Safety Equipment to all industry sectors since June 1978 we have developed a deep understanding of our customers requirements and continue to improve and adapt our operation to meet this demand.

 

We are continually seeking better methods of servicing our customers especially in areas such as Quality, Stock Levels, Delivery Schedules, Invoicing and Statistical Reporting. Input from our customers is vital to Wenaas UK and is encouraged through regular contact including attendance at Protective Clothing User Group meetings where feedback can be obtained, information exchanged and problems solved.
