Uvex Celebrates Fifth Anniversary of Falcon Protective Eyewear Line

Uvex, a manufacturer of safety eyewear, recently announced the five-year anniversary of its Falcon line of premium protective eyewear. Since its launch in July 2001, the product line has experienced average sales growth in the double digits year after year.

“Uvex has had tremendous success with the Falcon product family," says Erica Osley, group product manager, American brands. "While it provides superior comfort and excellent eye protection coverage, Falcon's popularity and sales growth can be attributed to its position as a high-quality, stylish alternative to other, more traditional safety eyewear in the category."

Falcon features frameless dual nine-base wrap-around lenses to provide superior peripheral coverage and complete protection of the entire eye area all with style and a sporty design. Its frameless design provides workers a clear, unobstructed view of their environment for improved workplace safety. It also has a one-click system to remove lenses for replacement, making the eyewear an economical choice.

Versatile and inexpensive, Falcon is hard at work in a number of industries including automotive, transportation, food processing, aerospace and clean room applications such as semiconductor. It meets or exceeds ANSI and CSA standards and Falcon is one of the lightest protective eyewear in its class, weighing just 22 grams. The temple color comes in black nylon, and lenses are available in clear, espresso, amber, mirror and SCT-Reflect 50.
