Plants
When customers choose a uvex product, they know it has been “Made in uvex”. For the uvex group, “Made in uvex” means focussing on our own production plants, of which many are in Germany or elsewhere in Europe. As a result, we are responsible for the entire value creation chain — from product conception and development, through production, and finally to sales.
