Barrier Protection, By Barrier Experts

For 75+ years, our high-performing, head-to-toe solutions have set the standard for quality, consistency, and safety compliance.

We launched in 1947 in Asheville, North Carolina, and were originally named White Knight to celebrate the doctors who wore our white lab coats. Over the years, we've expanded our business and expertise to protective barrier wear for critical environments. To better reflect our business, in 2022, we changed our name to CritiCore Protective Wear.

Our protective garments continue to serve as the core to protect people and products. Today CritiCore apparel is worn in dozens of industries, including semi-conductor and pharmaceutical manufacturing cleanrooms, food processing sectors, healthcare, automotive manufacturing, and more.

Whatever critical work environment you manage, our barrier experts will work with you one-on-one to create a custom solution that fits your team, industry, and job.
