About Arbortec

For over 30 years, Arbortec has been at the forefront of chainsaw protective apparel and tree care equipment. We exist for one reason: to empower the global TreeLife community with performance-driven products that protect, inspire, and allow individuality to shine.

What's our story?

We’re Arbortec, and we believe in empowering our community’s passion for nature, individuality, and success. Whether you’ve spent a lifetime outdoors or are just discovering it, we’re here to help you live the treelife, love performance, and experience true comfort.

Balancing functionality, performance, and design, we craft garments built to endure the harshest conditions while delivering lasting comfort, safety, and standout style. We’ve brought colour to an industry once defined by muted tones, making high-performance workwear not only vibrant and distinctive, but every bit as practical as it is striking.

Guided by innovation, we continually refine our designs with the latest advancements in materials and construction. We listen closely to our community, ensuring our products meet the real-world demands of the profession.

At Arbortec, our mission is simple: create gear that performs where it matters most -while allowing you to express your passion and truly live the treelife.

Our Journey

From small beginnings to global reach, Arbortec has always been built on passion, innovation, and community.

• 1992 - Fresh from sixth-form, two brothers started out selling an Italian range of safety footwear. This company was known as Safeguy.
• 1994 - We noticed vibrant colours were missing from the chainsaw apparel market. We opened our first trade counter which had PPE equipment and a small selection of outdoor equipment.
• 1999 - 2010 - Outgrown our first makeshift facility and invested in a unit which provided a larger showroom. We sold the country clothing and trade counter, which opened the opportunity to purchase Arbortec Forestwear.
• 2014 - Introduced the Breatheflex chainsaw trousers by creating a very technical trouser that was brightly coloured.
• 2017 - We set up our own factory in Portugal.
• 2021 - 2023 - We purchased our new innovation centre. We are now established as an industry leader in the manufacturing and delivery of ultimate chainsaw apparel.
• 2025 - We are opening our new world-class Arbortec Innovation Centre, a hub designed to drive product development, sustainability, and the future of chainsaw protection on a global scale.
