Company Profile
Company Overview
A CENTURY IN THE MAKING
Our craft goes back over a hundred years ago in 1889 at our Canadian facility where various garments were produced. In the late 1960s, the company became the outerwear division of Bombardier Recreational Products that was later sold to Camoplast Inc. After over 20 years of manufacturing extreme sports outerwear, winter sports and football protective equipment, the transition began to FR industrial and military protective apparel in the mid-1980s.
In 1999, a new management team decided to merge the know-how of extreme sports and fire retardant for industrial and military use in the designing and manufacturing of apparel. With the idea to create a line of turnout gear, INNOTEX was born. It’s mission: to continuously innovate through textile. The first UL® certified turnout gear was subsequently made in 2001.
OUR DESIGNS
Our lightweight turnout designs are inspired by decades of experience in the development and manufacturing of extreme sports protective clothing. We design our products to be as efficient as possible, making improvements to comfort and durability, without compromising on protection.
With high quality craftsmanship and exceptional attention to detail, we have created a turnout with increased durability, which in turn helps to extend the life of the turnout and allows fire departments to save considerably and increase firefighter safety
