National Safety Apparel acquires King Louie sewing facility

National Safety Apparel (NSA) has acquired Kansas-based King Louie, a US apparel manufacturer. King Louie America produces USA-made shirts, outerwear, and womenswear. In 2018, National Safety Apparel acquired Rubin Brothers, another union-made, USA-made apparel manufacturer. The proven success of increasing capacity and adding experienced team members to the NSA family through the Rubin Brothers acquisition laid the groundwork for the King Louie acquisition.

“In today’s challenging labor market, we’re always looking at innovative ways to grow our US manufacturing capacity and employ American workers,” the company said in a statement. “Acquiring King Louie allows us to increase our output to better serve our customers and sustains NSA’s commitment to US manufacturing.”

A market leader in the design and manufacture of high-quality industrial safety apparel and military apparel, National Safety Apparel provides industrial and safety garments for wearers in the electrical and gas utilities, steel mills and aluminum foundries, glass plants, construction, manufacturing, and the armed forces while employing American workers.
