On Tuesday, September 27, MSA celebrated the grand opening of our newly expanded facility for producing firefighter protective clothing in Yate, near Bristol, UK. The new facility will serve as a hub for all MSA Bristol activity.

MSA Safety acquired Bristol Uniforms in January 2021. The company has ambitious growth plans and is making significant investments in the business to enhance the company’s facilities and firefighting clothing portfolio. 

MSA Bristol’s new Yate Campus brings together its central offices, Cutting Unit, Western Service Centre, and International Distribution Centre. The modern campus offers the company’s 153 highly skilled staff an improved workplace environment and excellent transport links. The building establishes MSA Bristol’s Yate campus as a global centre of excellence for fire protective clothing design, production and service. 

“The new facility, combined with our three regional service centres across the UK, represent a platform for overall growth in fire service, both within the UK and across other parts of the world.” Bob Leenen, President of MSA’s International Business Segment said at the official opening ceremony.
