Kiwi Workwear started with one man and one box. Kumar Sethi came to the United States in the late 1990s and built a general merchandise distribution business from the ground up. The first product he ever sold was a simple string-knit, latex-dipped work glove.

From there the company grew the honest way. One box became a pallet. A pallet became a truck. A truck became full containers. We have now distributed over five hundred containers of goods, and today Kiwi Workwear ships over five million pairs of gloves a year.

Why We Do This

Big companies overcharge for safety gear that does not cost that much to make. People are required by law to wear this gear to do their jobs, and we refuse to take advantage of that. Our focus is simple. Get the people who need the gear the right gear at the best price. No one should be priced out of working safely.

At Kiwi Workwear, we believe safety, durability, and performance should never be compromised. Since the late 1990s, we have been delivering professional-grade workwear and safety gear designed for demanding job sites and tough working conditions. As a minority-owned, family-owned small business, we take pride in building dependable products backed by experience, integrity, and a hands-on commitment to quality.

We specialize in work gloves, high-visibility safety jackets and vests, and durable work boots engineered for construction, logistics, industrial, warehouse, and outdoor environments. Every product we offer is designed with the end user in mind, combining comfort, long-lasting materials, and reliable protection to help workers stay safe and productive on the job.

Compliant Safety You Can Trust

Kiwi Workwear products are designed to meet recognized industry safety standards, giving professionals confidence in their gear. Our safety apparel and footwear comply with key standards, including:

• ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 for high-visibility safety apparel
• ASTM F2413 standards for protective footwear
• EN 388 and ANSI/ISEA 105 cut resistance standards for work gloves

These standards ensure our gear delivers the visibility, impact protection, cut resistance, and durability required in high-risk work environments. See the full breakdown of our safety standards.
