VRNA's First Orders

VRNA's first orders have gone out and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive!

"I can say that I look for reasons to wear my (Alpha Workwear) vest. It is AWESOME!! I keep the vest in my desk drawer and put it on when I get to my office. After about 15 minutes there is already a “charge” in the phosphorescence part of the vest. The truck drivers that are in and out of my yard LOVE the fact that they can see me even better than with the “standard” class 2 level2 vest. " 1DA Truck Dispatch Supervisor UPS

"Great product with excellent quality. UCM is excited about this new technology and our crew personnel love the fact that we care enough about there safety to invest in such a great product. Awesome product and it's been great working Viz Reflectives NA. I can't wait to get together with some of our competitors and show them this new technology." Safety Director UCM http://www.ucm.biz/


VRNA Announces First Shipment of Patent-Pending Workwear

January 1, 2016 - New Ipswich, NH – Viz Reflectives North America is excited to announce their US product launch of patent-pending workwear. VRNA’s Vizlite® Dual Technology incorporates both retro-reflectivity and phosphorescence into seven new garments, including a lightweight birds eye tee shirt, a waterproof and breathable rain jacket and pant set as well as four vests in both ANSI Class 2 and 3. This industry-changing technology has been a proven winner in Europe and is now ready for it’s stateside introduction.

Justin Krook, Principal of VRNA describes the experience that led him into a partnership with Europe’s Viz Reflectives. “I was working for my father’s contracting company, where engineers searched for a “green” solution using a "glow" product when light sources were low or non-existent.   After realizing there wasn't a phosphorescent technology bright enough to be seen outdoors and would disappear when exposed to light, I started doing rudimentary R&D in my garage which has turned into the technology that is now known as Vizlite® Dual Technology.” Justin’s background and passion for chemistry, business and invention led him to a "glow" product...further developed with the help of VRUK was a winning formula!

Vizlite® Dual Technology is an ANSI approved combination that was developed to offer innovation into the PPE market and was created to save lives in low to no light source situations. VRNA’s technology features phosphorescent materials that emit light in dark and dimly lit areas improving personal safety. The first of it’s kind – recharges with most types of light, including sunlight, floodlights and ordinary office light fixtures and requires no battery operation or plugs. Typical industries that could benefit include DOT, construction, mining, shipping and distribution, oil and gas, utilities are among the few...truly a "game changer"!
