Finding a reliable European supplier for PPE can be a challenge. Inconsistent quality and delayed shipments from distant partners can erode your profits and damage your hard-won reputation.

Romania offers a strategic solution with its growing base of high-quality PPE manufacturers. By partnering with leading Romanian factories, you gain access to EU-certified products, reduced lead times, and a competitive edge in the European market.

Romanian PPE Manufacturing.

As I continue to analyze the global safety market for my clients, Romania consistently emerges as a hub of opportunity. The country combines a strong industrial heritage with modern manufacturing practices, all while adhering to the stringent safety standards of the European Union. For PPE wholesalers looking to diversify their supply chain or better serve European customers, Romania is a market that cannot be overlooked. I’ve researched the key players in this region to identify those who offer the best potential for partnership, quality, and reliability. Here’s a look at the top 10 manufacturers that should be on your radar.

Is EUROPROTECT Your Gateway to Expert Romanian PPE?

Tired of working with general suppliers who don’t specialize in safety? You need a partner whose core business is protection, ensuring expertise and quality in every product.

EUROPROTECT is a dedicated manufacturer and importer based in Craiova, specializing in high-quality work equipment and protective gear. Their focused approach makes them a reliable source for certified cut-resistant gloves.

As a specialist manufacturer, EUROPROTECT¹ lives by its motto: "Today’s caution, tomorrow’s safety." This isn’t just a tagline; it reflects a deep commitment to the safety industry. For a wholesaler, partnering with a true manufacturer instead of just a distributor has significant advantages. It opens the door for deeper collaboration, potential customization, and more direct quality control. With a dedicated team of 11-50 employees, they are agile and focused. When I assess a potential partner like EUROPROTECT, the first thing I look for is their range of certifications. You should inquire about their specific EN 388 test results across their glove lineup. For example, do they offer high-level cut resistance (Level 4/5) suitable for metal fabrication, or do they focus more on general-purpose (Level 2/3) gloves? Understanding their product depth is key to seeing how they can serve your specific customer base.

Can Rhino Safety Romania’s Experience Elevate Your Brand?

Partnering with a newer company can be risky. You need a supplier with a long history of proven performance and deep industry experience to ensure product consistency and reliability.

With roots going back to 1994 and backed by over 40 years of Italian industry experience, Rhino Safety Romania is a seasoned manufacturer of safety equipment, including a full range of hand protection.

Rhino Safety brings a powerful combination of Italian investment and Romanian manufacturing prowess. Originally focused on safety footwear², their expansion into a full range of PPE shows a commitment to becoming a comprehensive safety solution provider. Their deep experience is a major asset. In my years in this business, I’ve seen that manufacturers with a long history have refined their processes, ensuring consistent quality control and a better understanding of end-user needs. Their facility in Bacău is well-positioned for distribution. When you engage with them, I suggest you leverage their background. Ask how their experience in footwear design influences their glove ergonomics and durability. I would also investigate their supply chain for raw materials. Their Italian backing might give them access to high-quality European materials, which can be a significant selling point for your customers who value premium, durable goods.

Company	Location	Key Strength	Wholesaler Benefit
EUROPROTECT	Craiova	Specialized PPE Manufacturer	Direct partnership, potential for customization
Rhino Safety	Bacău	40+ Years of Italian Experience	Proven reliability, high-quality standards
Marvel SRL	Suceava	Own Brand (BSAFE)	Brand control, consistent marketing

Is Marvel SRL’s BSAFE Brand Your Next Bestseller?

Building a recognizable product line can be difficult. Promoting a manufacturer’s private label can give you a consistent brand story and a product your competitors can’t easily replicate.

Marvel SRL, the creator of the BSAFE brand, is a dedicated manufacturer of protective gloves and clothing. Their proprietary brand ensures consistent quality and design across their product lines.

Since its founding in 2001, Marvel SRL has focused on building its own brand, BSAFE. From a wholesaler’s perspective, this is incredibly valuable. Instead of selling a generic product, you can offer a branded solution. This helps with marketing, builds customer loyalty, and can protect your margins. When I analyze a company with a strong private label, I focus on their brand’s reputation and its technical specifications. For Marvel SRL, I would request the full technical data sheets for their BSAFE cut-resistant gloves³. You need to understand the materials they use, such as HPPE or steel-blended yarns⁴, and the types of coatings available (e.g., nitrile, PU). This allows you to position the BSAFE brand technically against more established international names. You can highlight it as a high-value European brand that offers certified protection without the premium price tag of some Western European competitors.

Could You Protect Romania Be Your High-End Partner?

Serving customers who demand premium quality requires a supplier that focuses on top-tier solutions. You need a partner that understands the importance of durability and performance in demanding environments.

You Protect Romania, located in Satu Mare, specializes in high-end PPE solutions. They focus on delivering superior quality and durability in their protective equipment, including cut-resistant gloves.

You Protect Romania Premium PPE.

You Protect Romania carves out a niche in the premium segment of the market. This focus on "high-end⁵" is a clear signal to wholesalers who serve industries where safety and performance cannot be compromised. I would approach them to source gloves for clients in sectors like aerospace, automotive assembly, or specialized manufacturing, where workers need maximum protection without sacrificing dexterity. When a manufacturer claims to be high-end, you must verify it. Ask about their quality control processes. Do they perform batch testing for cut resistance? What is their defect rate? Inquire about the materials they use—are they sourcing from leading global suppliers of high-performance yarns? A partnership with You Protect Romania could allow you to offer an exclusive, top-tier glove to your customers, justifying a higher price point and positioning your business as a supplier of elite safety solutions.

Does Armorum.ro Offer the Certified Safety You Demand?

Selling PPE comes with a huge responsibility. You need to know that every product you sell is fully certified and approved by relevant authorities to protect your customers and your business.

Armorum.ro, based in Sibiu, guarantees that its full range of protective equipment is CE marked and approved by the Ministry of Labor, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.

For a wholesaler, compliance is non-negotiable. Armorum.ro’s emphasis on CE marking⁶ and local ministry approval is a powerful selling point. It removes a significant burden from your shoulders, as you can trust that their products meet all necessary European health and safety requirements. My advice is to use this as a cornerstone of your marketing when selling their products. You can confidently tell your customers that the gloves are not just effective but are legally compliant for the European market. When speaking with Armorum.ro, I would ask for their Declaration of Conformity⁷ documents for their glove lines. I would also ask how they manage updates to standards like EN 388. A proactive partner who stays ahead of regulatory changes is invaluable. Their comprehensive product line, from clothing to gloves, also offers an opportunity for account consolidation, simplifying your procurement process.

Is 100SAFE.ro the Specialist Supplier You Need?

General-purpose suppliers often lack deep knowledge. You need a partner who is a specialist in safety and protective equipment, ensuring they understand the technical needs of your industrial clients.

100SAFE.ro positions itself as a professional supplier of safety and protective equipment. This specialization means they have a deep understanding of the products they sell, including industrial-grade cut-resistant gloves.

100SAFE.ro Industrial Protection.

A specialist like 100SAFE.ro⁸ can be a powerful ally. Their focus on safety equipment means their team is likely to have deep technical knowledge, making them more of a consultant than just a supplier. This is a huge benefit for wholesalers, as you can rely on them for accurate product recommendations for complex applications. I would test this expertise. Present them with challenging scenarios from your customers. For example, "I have a client in the glass industry who needs a glove with high cut resistance (EN 388 Level 5) but also excellent grip and dexterity. What do you recommend?" Their answer will reveal the depth of their knowledge. A true specialist will be able to discuss the pros and cons of different coatings (like latex vs. PU) and liner materials for that specific application. This expertise helps you build trust with your own customers.

Can Protect Store.ro’s Hybrid Model Simplify Your Sourcing?

Why choose between a manufacturer and a distributor? A partner that does both can offer the benefits of a private label alongside the variety of major international brands.

Operated by Marvel SRL, Protect Store.ro functions as both a manufacturer of its own PPE and a major distributor for leading brands like 3M, Ansell, and Cofra, offering a one-stop-shop solution.

The hybrid model of Protect Store.ro⁹ is highly attractive for a growing wholesale business. It provides incredible flexibility. You can source their proprietary BSAFE brand for a high-value, price-competitive option, while also having access to world-renowned brands that some of your larger clients may demand by name. This solves a major procurement headache. From my experience, a one-stop-shop partner saves significant time and money on logistics and administration. When you evaluate them, analyze the structure of their pricing. Is their own brand significantly more competitive than the international brands they distribute? Understanding this will help you develop a "good, better, best" strategy for your customers. You can lead with the cost-effective house brand while having the premium brands ready for specific requests. This flexibility is a powerful tool for maximizing your sales across different customer segments.

Is Gregor Concept the Comprehensive Partner for You?

Your customers’ needs are diverse. Partnering with a supplier who only offers a narrow range of products can mean missed opportunities. You need a partner with a comprehensive safety portfolio.

Gregor Concept, located in the strategic port city of Constanța, operates as both a manufacturer and distributor, providing a full suite of protection and safety equipment solutions.

Gregor Concept’s position as a comprehensive solution provider makes them a strategic choice. Their location in Constanța, a major European port, is a significant logistical advantage, potentially leading to faster and cheaper shipping, especially for sea freight. As a manufacturer and distributor, they offer a balanced portfolio. I would investigate the manufacturing side of their business first. What specific types of gloves do they produce in-house? What are their strengths? Then, I would look at the brands they distribute to see how they complement their own products. A good synergy would be if they manufacture high-volume general-purpose gloves¹⁰ while distributing more specialized, high-tech hand protection. This would allow you to source the bulk of your inventory from their own production line at a competitive price, while still being able to fulfill niche requests. This integrated approach can greatly streamline your supply chain.

Does Vanzari Echipamente Protectie Offer True Manufacturing Expertise?

Many companies claim to be manufacturers. You need to find a true producer with a clear focus on manufacturing work equipment and labor protection to ensure you are as close to the source as possible.

Vanzari Echipamente Protectie is a specialized manufacturer of work equipment and labor protection devices. Their focus is on production, offering a full range of PPE including cut-resistant gloves.

Website:https://vanzariechipamenteprotectie.com/

The name itself, which translates to "Protective Equipment Sales," is straightforward, but their core identity is that of a manufacturer. This specialization is exactly what a serious wholesaler should look for. A focused manufacturer is more likely to have invested in modern production technology and robust quality control systems. My approach here would be to verify their manufacturing capabilities. I would ask for a virtual tour of their facility or detailed photographs of their production lines. What kind of knitting machines do they use for their glove liners (e.g., Shima Seiki)? What are their coating line capabilities? The answers to these questions will tell you a lot about their quality and capacity. Partnering with a dedicated Romanian manufacturer¹¹ like this can give you a significant cost and quality advantage, allowing you to compete effectively against importers of goods from outside the EU.

Can Elmion Group’s In-House Production Benefit You?

Are you looking for a unique product? Suppliers who outsource production can’t offer exclusivity. A partner with their own workshop can create exclusive products, giving you a unique market advantage.

Elmion Group stands out by exclusively producing work uniforms and safety equipment in its own dedicated workshop, ensuring maximum control over quality and the potential for custom designs.

Elmion Group In-House Workshop.
Website:https://elmiongroup.ro/

Elmion Group’s commitment to in-house production is their greatest strength. This "own workshop" model gives them total control over the entire production process, from raw material selection to final quality checks. For a wholesaler, this is a golden opportunity. It means you can potentially work with them to co-design a glove. You can specify the liner material, the cut level, the coating type, and even the color and branding to create a product that is exclusive to your business. This is the ultimate way to stand out from the competition. I would engage Elmion Group with a specific project in mind. Start with a small custom request to test their capabilities and flexibility. A successful collaboration on an exclusive product line can become a highly profitable, long-term partnership that sets your business apart from an ocean of competitors selling the same generic items.
