Safety Products Global in Europe: Closer to the customer!

New roles, shorter channels, a single point of contact for all three brands.

Safety Products Global is aligning its European organisation more closely with the global structure – and at the same time getting closer to local operations. What is changing, who is joining, and what this means for customers in the DACH region.

If you want to reduce cut injuries in the workplace, you need two things: the right tool and someone who understands how cutting is actually done in your own company. We have been providing the tools for years. With the second point, we are now stepping up.

Safety Products Global is expanding its European business. We combine the scale, innovative strength and expertise of our global organisation with local teams working directly with customers and distribution partners.

What is actually changing

US organisation, brands and product development are moving closer to the European structure. For you as a customer, this primarily means: shorter distances. Enquiries reach the decision-makers more quickly. New products arrive in Europe sooner. And regional requirements – from regulatory standards to packaging formats – flow directly back into development.

„By combining our global strengths even more closely with our regional teams, we can act faster for our customers and partners and jointly unlock the next phase of growth. — Jarrod Streng, President & CEO, Safety Products Global

Three brands, one point of contact

Under the umbrella of SPG are Klever, Slice and PHC – three of the leading brands for safe cutting tools. Industrial customers can reach all three through the same contact.

That sounds like a minor detail, but in practice it makes all the difference: if you are equipping multiple sites or plants, you can standardise solutions rather than searching for a new one for every application. Fewer suppliers, one safety standard, transparent costs.

The new team

As CFO, Katharina Batz will also be responsible for the finance and operations divisions in Europe.
Bryan Mason is taking on the newly created role of Head of International Sales. He will lead our expanded sales team in EMEA and APAC.
Tom Glady is strengthening SPG with targeted sales and application support in the DACH region – which is precisely where workplace consulting takes place rather than over the phone.

Drop by

We will be demonstrating what this means in practice: at Arbeitsschutz Aktuell 2026, from 20th to 22nd October in Stuttgart, Hall 1, Stand E1.020. Feel free to bring along your cutting challenge – we will take a look at it together.

A global company. Strong local execution. Closer to our customers.
