Our Story

After 25 years in business, we have a new owner and a new name! On June 1, 2020, Andrew Hippert took the helm as captain, rebranding from Fox Valley Safety & Training to Fox Valley Safety. Our name and logo may be different, but our commitment to our customers remains the same.

We are flourishing under this new leadership while continuing to build on the 25-year legacy with dedication and reliability. Our entire staff is excited about the next 25 years!
