History

MSA Safety was founded in 1914 by George H. Deike, a mechanical engineer and an entrepreneur dedicated to protecting the lives and health of industrial workers. In the early 1900s, workers around the world had few protections to guard against industrial accidents, and many suffered severe injuries — or even death — from falling from heights or exposure to toxic gases. Deike’s pioneering work and focus on safety products changed that.

Mission

That men and women may work in safety and that they, their families, and their communities may live in health throughout the world.

Vision

At MSA, we are focused on our vision of an injury and incident-free world. We strive to provide innovative safety solutions to create a world of safety – to protect each and everyone who puts themselves in harm’s way to protect us all.
