ArcOne®: From Upstart Auto-Darkening Lens Pioneer to World Leader in Personal Safety Equipment

ArcOne® is a highly regarded manufacturer of personal protection equipment for industrial applications. They are best known for their innovations in the evolution of Auto-Darkening welding helmets. Founded in 1992, they have grown and expanded into new categories of industrial safety products, including hard hats, visors, safety glasses and respiratory protection products.

The company got its start as an exclusive OEM for a then-new Auto-Darkening welding hat filter developed by a Swiss company. Throughout the 1990s, ArcOne’s Auto-Darkening technology gained a loyal following and by 1997 it was the top seller in North America. The company grew rapidly and expanded their line, with many new products originating from their US division. Today, most of the design and engineering for ArcOne products is done at their Massachusetts facility.
