For over

 

 

years, Acme Universal Safezone has been at the forefront of manufacturing high-quality safety shoes engineered to protect Indian workers from occupational hazards. Our pioneering vision and investments have been key to developing the safety footwear industry in the country.

Origins

Acme was founded in 1994 by Mr. Nitin Tiwari in Girwai, Gwalior with the goal of improving safety and productivity for India's industrial workforce through specialized protective shoes.

At the time, awareness and enforcement around safety footwear was minimal. Acme sought to address this by supplying shoes engineered for the unique risks faced by workers to leading national corporations.
