At Proxon Premium Workwear, we believe the best way to develop high-performance safety footwear is by listening to the people who wear it every day. That is why, in 2026, we had the opportunity to participate in two important safety industry events: Expo Seguridad Industrial in Mexico City and SAFETY26 in Anaheim, California.
Both events allowed us to strengthen business relationships, identify market trends, and present our safety footwear solutions to distributors, companies, industrial buyers, safety professionals, and end users.
More than showcasing products, these trade shows gave us the opportunity to better understand the real needs of professionals working in manufacturing, construction, logistics, energy, mining, and other demanding industries where protection, comfort, and durability are essential.
Expo Seguridad Industrial 2026: Strengthening Our Presence in Mexico
Expo Seguridad Industrial is one of Mexico’s key events for connecting with companies, suppliers, and professionals focused on industrial safety, personal protective equipment, and workplace risk prevention.
During this edition in Mexico City, Proxon Premium Workwear participated with the goal of strengthening our presence in the Mexican market, meeting with distributors and industrial clients, and presenting our latest innovations in safety footwear.
Our presence at Expo Seguridad Industrial allowed us to connect with companies from key sectors such as manufacturing, construction, logistics, energy, and mining, where industrial footwear plays an essential role in workplace safety programs.
Highlights from Expo Seguridad Industrial
Throughout the event, we saw strong interest in our safety footwear lines, especially in models that combine protection with a modern, elegant, and professional look.
One of the most relevant takeaways was the positive response to our casual, executive, and versatile designs. More companies are looking for footwear options that meet safety requirements while also delivering comfort, style, and everyday wearability.
We also had valuable conversations with buyers and decision-makers responsible for corporate safety programs, many of whom are looking for reliable footwear solutions for their teams without compromising design or comfort.
What We Learned from the Mexican Market
Our conversations with users, supervisors, and buyers confirmed a clear trend: the market is looking for safety footwear that goes beyond basic protection.
Today’s workers and companies are looking for:
-
Greater comfort during long shifts.
-
Lighter designs without sacrificing protection.
-
Modern styles that can be worn both on and off the job.
-
Durable materials for demanding work environments.
-
Safety footwear with better fit, durability, and overall performance.
These insights help us continue developing products designed for the real conditions professionals face every day in Mexico.
SAFETY26: Bringing Craftsmanship to the U.S. Market
In addition to our participation in Mexico, Proxon was also present at SAFETY26 in Anaheim, California, one of the leading events for occupational safety professionals in the United States.
This trade show brought together safety specialists, companies, distributors, and buyers focused on improving workplace safety. For Proxon, participating in SAFETY26 represented a strategic opportunity to continue expanding our presence in the United States and showcase the quality of our manufacturing to the North American market.
Our goal was to build relationships with new distributors, wholesalers, and industrial buyers while presenting our safety footwear proposal built around style, quality, and premium finishing.
Highlights from SAFETY26
During SAFETY26, we met with companies from different states across the U.S. that were interested in safety footwear solutions that combine functionality, protection, and design.
One of the most valuable opportunities was being able to showcase Proxon’s level of quality, construction, and craftsmanship in front of international buyers. The market response confirmed that there is a growing demand for products that offer certification, performance, and a more modern aesthetic for today’s workforce.
We also exchanged ideas with occupational safety professionals who shared valuable perspectives on the current needs of their teams and the key features they look for in safety footwear for the U.S. market.
Trends We Observed in the United States
The North American market continues to evolve toward more specialized, lightweight, and functional safety footwear solutions. During SAFETY26, we identified growing demand for:
-
Composite Toe boots.
-
Waterproof styles.
-
Metal-free footwear.
-
High-performance slip-resistant outsoles.
-
Lighter and more ergonomic designs.
-
Certified products that comply with applicable safety standards.
These trends reinforce the importance of continuous innovation in materials, construction, design, and technology applied to safety footwear.
What Both Trade Shows Taught Us
