MSA

MSA's company aim is to develop and distribute high-quality equipment that is designed to improve safety in the workplace. In fact, 'The Safety Company' is their official tagline. MSA has been developing high-quality safety solutions since the early 1900's.

The company was founded after a catastrophic mining accident on March 26th 1912 at the Jed Mine in West Virginia; over 80 people lost their lives. John T.Ryan Sr and George H. Deike, the founders of MSA, decided that they wanted to prevent accidents such as this from ever occurring again and, with the help of Thomas Edison, began inventing solutions to achieve this goal.

Today MSA is global leader in the supply of safety products and continues to design, manufacture and produce instruments optimised to protect people and facility infrastructures. It serves a broad range of industry sectors including oil, gas and petrochemical, fire service, construction, mining, and military.

MSA’s extensive product portfolio includes methane detectors, portable gas detectors, ballistic helmets, fire and rescue helmets, self-contained breathing apparatus, and fixed gas and flame detection systems. Recently MSA has focused on developing thermal imaging cameras for use in the firefighting sector, giving firemen the tools they need to effectively see through smoke, detect fire distribution, and improve safety in incredibly hostile environments.
