HOME Firefighter Safety Our Partners

Our Partners

Globe is committed to research and development with the objective of advancing protection and safety for every firefighter who answers the call. We partner with some of the world’s best suppliers, training academies, universities, technology companies, and government agencies to develop solutions to serious health and safety risks faced by firefighters every day that may result in long-term health consequences, fire ground accidents, and line of duty deaths.

Key Suppliers

These long-time suppliers of Globe make many of the critical materials that firefighters depend on every day in their turnout gear. Their support and commitment to excellence is an important element in the long-lasting performance of Globe gear. Over the years, Globe has been the first to offer many of the high-performance materials produced by these valued partners.

Globe is the "Official Supplier of Turnout Gear" for many of North America’s best and busiest fire training academies. The instructors at these academies are the "best of the best" and we are proud that they choose to wear Globe turnout gear and boots exclusively on the job.
