I know for a fact that the plant that made the Protege Safety Glasses was based in Smithfield RI, that plant has been closed for months. Where is Protege being made as the product / websites still says made in the USA? Where did they move production?

Mexicali makes most of the stuff they used to make in Rhode Isalnd. All the respirator cartridges, hard hats etc…. Honeywell has Closed both Sperian and North in Rhode Island, Miller in Franklin, sperian in Santa Ana and the shell of it in they moved to NC, Fendall in Wisconsin, Reno DC. Only US plants in PPE are the electrical glove plant/glove box glove plants in the Carolina’s which will never close and the ear plug plant in San Diego that I am shocked hasn’t moved to Mexico.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see them move the Groveport DC which is a joke to Mexico too since they can ship across the border without going through customs to the Calexico warehouse
Probably consolidated to the germany factory
Honeywell is probably selling off old stock. It'll be a year or so before we see where the new stock is coming from if Honeywell is even in the business.
