At NSC Expo 2026, Patroni will showcase footwear designed for a range of industrial environments, from manufacturing facilities to outdoor worksites and fire & rescue training.
Featured products include :
- Fire & Rescue Training Boot: Built for demanding training exercises requiring heat resistance, durability, and ankle support.

SafeHear LOUIS: Clear Communication in Noisy Workplaces
Effective communication is essential for workplace safety, yet industrial noise often makes coordination difficult. LOUIS enables teams to communicate while wearing hearing protection, helping reduce misunderstandings without compromising safety.
Compatible with earmuffs and bone-conduction headsets, LOUIS is well suited for manufacturing, maintenance, construction, road works, and other high-noise environments.
Experience the system firsthand at our booth and discover how clear communication can improve both safety and operational efficiency.
AZ Earth: Arc Flash Protection
Electrical maintenance and high-voltage operations can expose workers to intense thermal energy in the event of an arc flash. AZ ARC, developed in Japan, provides specialized protective clothing designed for professionals working in these high-risk environments.
At NSC Safety Congress & Expo 2026, Oteplace will showcase AZ ARC’s triple-layer Arc Flash Suit Set, offering an ATPV rating of 66.0 cal/cm² and PPE Category 4 protection under NFPA 70E. The suit is designed for applications such as electrical maintenance, substations, utilities, and other operations where workers may encounter significant arc flash hazards.
The complete system combines a protective coat, trousers, hood with face shield, and gloves, providing full-body protection while maintaining practical features such as an adjustable waist and hem. Its layered Modacrylic/Aramid construction also incorporates anti-static yarn for additional protection.
