About Esko
The ESKO brand story
Esko is New Zealand’s own premium safety products brand.
Behind the brand stands years of experience, manufacturing and supplying safety products designed to stand between humans and harm in some of New Zealand’s most challenging industries; agricultural, automotive, civil, industrial, marine, and manufacturing. We also help keep our country’s roads, and the people who drive and work on them, safer.
As a result, some of New Zealand’s largest companies trust Esko safety products to protect their most important asset, their employees.
As a staunchly Kiwi-owned, intergenerational company, we’re always looking to innovate, while respecting our past. Because we take our responsibility to workers, companies, and suppliers seriously, Esko only stock quality, accredited products.
At the end of the day, our job is to help get everyone home safe. You can rely on us for that.
