Panda Safety - synonym for safety shoes
When similar ideas and values meet on the way to ensuring the safety of workers, products whose durability over time is guaranteed become synonymous of the quality. On this path, the companies Albo and Panda Safety have been walking together for 20 years. Cooperation like this has a specific weight because it is driven by the desire to preserve health and safety, especially in challenging working conditions. During the past two decades, Albo, as an exclusive distributor for Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia, provided quality and safety at work to everyone who needed it. Thanks to its high standards, sense of comfort and safety, Panda Safety has become a synonym for protective footwear among workers in Serbia. There is no better indicator of sincere trust in proven quality than the fact that users often look for Panda when shopping for work shoes.
Who is PANDA SAFETY?
PANDA SAFETY started operating 40 years ago, in 1979, in Cisternino, a splendid town in southern Italy where the company set up so as to grow and develop. This geographical location is in no way random, on the contrary, it is the result of the strong determination of the founder and current CEO, Luigi Gargiullo, who has always believed in the potential of his own territory. Furthermore, through research into raw materials and increasingly high-performance components, the Company managed to offer a product whose durability in time is guaranteed. Over the years that followed, PANDA SAFETY continued to increase its own know-how and to evolve, concentrating its product development activity on improving the morpho-anatomical characteristics of the footwear and on perfecting the protective function so that they would be suitable for any working context and thus in contact with any type of surface or material. Thanks to these extremely high standards of quality, typical of Italian excellence, the PANDA SAFETY trade mark has earned the trust, over the years, of numerous distributors and final users both domestically and at an international level, being sold in more than 70 countries all over the world. A result which bears witness to the reliability of the PANDA SAFETY product: your ideal partner at work even in the most extreme conditions.
