Our Establishment

Year 2021

Formed in Europe in late 2021 by a group of workwear enthusiasts who have been in the workwear business themselves for many and hailing from Germany, UK and Spain. At the high of COVID19 these men envisaged a new brand that would challenge the status quo that the current larger brands uphold. Not by changing the architecture of the market, but of changing the architecture and costs of the products offered. However at this point the idea of a new brand was only a pipe dream for these men.

Our Development

Early 2022

In 2022 came the chance to bring the topic of a new brand back to the drawing board and these men met again to discuss the possibility of a new brand first named Protectis, the idea of this brand was to bring better affordable workwear to the market that them and the people they worked with could afford. Workwear, especially HIVIS can be a costly endevour, especially for their partners who were working in dirtier surrondings.

Our plan

Winter 2023

In 2023 the team of fledgling business owners changed their brand name to the current WERKVIS, which encapsulates both the ability to provide high quality Hi-visibility and also top quality workwear. The decision was then taken to place their business at the heart of the workwear industry in Germany, where both the office and warehouse are still located today.

About WERKVIS™

In the bustling heart of western Europe, where grit meets innovation, Werkvis was born from a simple yet powerful idea: Every worker deserves to feel empowered, protected, and proud in their gear. Founded by a team of skilled tradespeople and ex-tradesmen, we set out to create workwear that stands up to the demands of any job while embodying the spirit of those who wear it.

Our journey began as a small group of Hi-vis enthusiasts—from construction workers and mechanics to farmers and electricians—facing the daily grind in clothes that fell short. We believed it was time to change that narrative. Inspired by the strength of the communities we serve, we focused on designing high-quality, durable apparel that blends functionality with contemporary style, while at the same time not breaking the bank.

At Werkvis, we don’t just create clothing; we build confidence. Each piece in our collection undergoes rigorous testing, ensuring it can withstand the toughest conditions while offering unmatched comfort. From reinforced seams to weather-resistant fabrics, our workwear is tailored to support you, no matter the challenge at hand.

We are also committed to sustainability. By sourcing eco-friendly materials and prioritizing ethical manufacturing practices, we aim to reduce our footprint on the planet while providing products that last. Our goal is to empower you not just as a worker but as a steward of the environment.

Community is at the heart of Werkvis. We collaborate with local artisans and tradespeople to bring our vision to life, ensuring that our products reflect the values and needs of those who rely on them. We share stories of resilience and dedication, celebrating the everyday heroes who embody the hardworking spirit we admire.

As you wear Werkvis, you wear a badge of honor—a testament to your commitment, skill, and the path you forge in your field. Together, let’s build a future where workwear is not just a necessity but a source of pride.

Forge your path with us. Suit up for the work that matters, and let’s shape the future together.
