RefrigiWear, the leading manufacturer of insulated industrial workwear, accessories and personal protective equipment, acquired two European workwear companies. Tessuto, is a Netherlands-based supplier of insulated apparel for cold chain workers. The company has a strong reputation for high-quality, customized freezer and cold store clothing. The second, Goldfreeze, is a UK-based supplier of protective apparel for both cold and heat.

These newly acquired companies join FlexiTog, a UK-based firm acquired by RefrigiWear in January, 2024, as part of the RW Workwear group in Europe, making RefrigiWear the largest global company focused on insulated PPE for the extreme temperatures of the cold chain. As a whole and with these new acquisitions, RefrigiWear advances its mission to deliver high-quality products that keep users warm and protected from harsh conditions so they can perform the duties that help move food products through the cold chain to kitchen tables around the world.

“Supporting our customers wherever they are is an important goal for our company,” said Ryan Silberman, CEO of RefrigiWear. “The addition of Tessuto and Goldfreeze, which have superb reputations for quality and cold protection, helps us deliver on our promise to customers around the world.”

This trio of European brands, along with the RefrigiWear and Samco brands serving North and South America, deliver insulated apparel, footwear and accessories for people working in food production and distribution facilities that operate in below-freezing temperatures. Their products are also widely used in outdoor work environments where wet weather and cold temperatures are major challenges to safety and productivity.
