Würth Industry North America (WINA)/Northern Safety & Industrial (NSI) is pleased to announce the acquisition of Louisville-based ORR Safety, one of the largest privately held safety companies ($125M) in the United States. Since 1948, ORR Safety has provided personal protective equipment (PPE) and related safety services to over 2,000 customers, helping to protect hundreds of thousands of workers. It has over 250 employees and four distribution facilities across the US. The acquisition of ORR Safety will add depth and diversity to Würth Industry’s current safety product offering by NSI, which Würth acquired in 2015.
NSI and ORR Safety’s combined logistics, locations, personalized safety programs, and private label products make it one of the largest safety-focused national distributors. The purchase will better serve the needs of Würth Industry’s existing customers with expanded personalized safety services, such as safety shoes, prescription safety eyewear, and corporate accounts programs.
