We co-founded Transportation Safety Apparel (TSA) in 2003, and it's a quintessential American success story. It all started in an extra bedroom in our South Carolina home, deeply rooted in our family business heritage. John's family had a background running a police, fire, and safety catalog, which also began very modestly from a pawn shop. The knowledge gained through that venture, helped lay the groundwork for TSA.

Throughout our journey, we have accomplished significant milestones that have contributed to our success and reputation in the industry. One of the most notable achievements was securing our first major contract with an international waste management company, a partnership that has flourished for nearly two decades. This long-standing relationship is a testament to the quality of our services and the trust we have built with our clients over the years.

We have custom-tailored uniform, safety equipment, and safety apparel programs for numerous companies across various industries. Our clientele spans a wide array of sectors including aviation, public safety, construction, transportation, hospitality, and many more. This diverse client base reflects our ability to cater to the specific needs and requrements of different industries, showcasing our adaptability and expertise in providing tailored solutions.At the core of our business philosophy is a strong commitment to catering to both large and small orders, serving businesses of all sizes as well as individual customers. We take pride in treating each client with equal dedication, regardless of the scale of their order or their organizational size. This dedication to client satisfaction has been integral to our success and has helped us build enduring relationships with a wide range of customers.Another distinctive aspect of TSA is our WBENC certification, highlighting our majority woman-owned status and our commitment to diversity in the workforce. This aligns with our mission to address the needs of businesses with diverse workforces and meet diversity requirements.

Sustainability is another key focus for us. This year, we aim to relocate all manufacturing of our TSA branded items to North America, reducing our carbon footprint by minimizing the travel distance for our goods. Additionally, we've implemented eco-friendly practices in shipping and packaging, such as eliminating single-use plastic and utilizing biodegradable packing materials.

One of our proudest achievements is our sustainable hi-visibility apparel line, using REPREVE® fabric made from recycled bottles. This initiative forms a full circle, as the recycled bottles from waste companies are transformed into protective apparel for the same industry.

We emphasize TSA's unique value proposition: building intimate customer relationships through a deep understanding of their needs and consistent fulfillment of those needs. We prioritize customer intimacy, quality, and competitive pricing, fostering a family-like bond with customers and employees. This approach sets us apart from larger corporations and underpins our ongoing success.
