The Kappler Difference

When the sign says danger, make sure the suit says Kappler.

It takes a lot of confidence to put your brand on a gas-tight suit. It’s a promise of protection we don’t take lightly. But from Level A protection to basic coveralls, we’re the first to tell you: It’s not just the suit.

It’s knowing it’s the right suit, made from the right fabric, with the right seam, and the right test data confirms all of the above. And it’s knowing something about the people behind the technology that makes the protection possible in the first place. Today more than ever, the Kappler brand on your garment means you always know what you’re getting into.

Protecting Workers,
Supporting American Jobs.

American-made quality provides an extra edge in confidence when you don a Kappler heat sealed/taped seam chemical or biohazard suit. Kappler’s critical protection chemical and biohazard suits are produced at our corporate headquarters in Guntersville, Alabama. Certified as a Woman-Owned Small Business, and registered to ISO 9001 since 1996, we document every detail when it comes to ensuring product quality. End-user safety is priority one, and our integrated manufacturing process ensures every garment meets demanding specifications. From Berry-compliant products for DoD markets to NFPA-certified apparel for the most challenging hazmat calls, you always know what you’re getting into with Kappler. As you consider your options for protective apparel, we’d just like to say thanks – and remind you that a commitment to quality and to American jobs is alive and well at Kappler.

The Wolf is Always At The Door

During a challenging period in the early days, George Kappler wanted employees to guard against complacency. As a reminder to stay focused, he posted a sign that said “The Wolf Is Always At The Door.” Over the years the wolf became an unofficial mascot for the company, appearing on Christmas cards and other items. Much like the wolf itself, Kappler has overcome various threats to not only survive, but thrive. Known for its intelligence and survival instinct, the wolf also exhibits a nurturing side in taking care of the pack. For us, the pack is more than employees – it’s also our customers, vendors, technical partners and many other friends. We look forward to many more years of working together to “keep bad stuff off people.”

Kappler Cares

As a protective clothing company, Kappler’s longstanding motto is “We Keep Bad Stuff Off People.” We’re also proud of our heritage of being a good corporate citizen, and our tradition of strong community service. We understand there are needs within our own Kappler family, as well as in surrounding communities, and we strive to help meet those needs by sharing our resources. We empower this vision by encouraging employees to participate in community outreach efforts, and by providing corporate financial support when possible.
