Bacou-Dalloz Introduces Harley-Davidson® Safety Eyewear
Company Signs an Exclusive Agreement with Viva International, Official Harley-Davidson® Licensee
Smithfield, R.I., June 1, 2002-Bacou-Dalloz, the world's leading manufacturer of personal protective equipment--and parent company of Uvex Safety--has signed an exclusive agreement with Viva International, an official licensee of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company, to produce safety eyewear under the
Harley-Davidson® brand.
According to Anne Chambers, Bacou-Dalloz brand manager for eye protection, the legendary Harley-Davidson brand ideally characterizes this collection of contemporary safety eyewear and its exceptional quality, cutting-edge style, and powerful performance.
"Our Harley-Davidson® Safety Eyewear models are precisely what safety directors have been asking for: protective eyewear that workers will stand in line to wear," said Chambers. "That's because Harley-Davidson isn't just a brand. It's a symbol of Americana, of freedom, adventure, and individuality. All proven to generate the kind of interest and enthusiasm that translate into increased compliance and--ultimately-bottom--line cost savings."
At the forefront of the new Harley-Davidson® Safety Eyewear collection is the Limited Edition HD 100 Series, an aerodynamic design reminiscent of popular sports glasses. The sleek, wrap-around frame comes in a bright, metallic silver finish and features a blue mirror lens engraved with the Harley-Davidson name. The Harley-Davidson brand name and famous Bar and Shield logo are also prominently featured on the front, making the Limited Edition a "must wear" among a broad spectrum of workers.
Four additional models round out the Harley-Davidson® Safety Eyewear collection, offering styles suited for workers of all ages, as well as a broad range of work applications. All feature black frames--many with orange accents on the temples. To further highlight the cutting-edge branding, the Harley-Davidson name is engraved on the lenses and sides of the temples.
"Harley-Davidson® Safety Eyewear is about style and image, as well as comfort and protection--all designed to drive compliance," said Chambers.
The four Harley-Davidson® Safety Eyewear models offer a variety of lens tints--including clear, gray, indoor/outdoor, and gold mirror. All models meet or exceed ANSI Z87.1 industry performance standards.
- HD 100 Series: Contemporary, wrap-around sport styling with
