K2 Safety

Industrial safety brands K2 Safety and EIDER SAFETY announced that they successfully concluded the '2026 Heatwave Safety Exhibition,' which was held over two days from April 23 to 24, 2026, at the K2 Group headquarters in Jagok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

According to the company, this '2026 Heatwave Safety Exhibition' marks the first time that an industrial safety brand independently planned and operated such an event, hosting it in the main auditorium of its headquarters rather than at an external exhibition venue. The event targeted corporate clients, agency representatives, and government officials, with a strong focus on practical product demonstrations and gathering direct feedback from the field.

The exhibition drew attention with a wide range of safety products featuring enhanced body temperature reduction functions, including fanwear.

K2 Safety unveiled high-powered fanwear that dramatically improved cooling performance by incorporating a 24V fan power system for the first time in Korea. The company also released highly breathable mesh safety shoes and a range of heatwave-specific products, such as salt-glucose supplements.

EIDER SAFETY showcased differentiated cooling solutions, including fanwear utilizing 'Peltier'—a thermoelectric technology that quickly lowers skin temperature—and a three-compartment vest.

In addition, the exhibition offered a 3D foot shape analysis service for visitors, providing custom insoles based on the participants’ foot data as part of a special event.

The event attracted a diverse range of visitors, including corporate purchasing managers, safety managers, distribution industry representatives, and government officials. Despite being the first such event, it garnered significant attention and served as an opportunity to confirm the growing interest in heat-related illness prevention within the industry.

Heecheol Yoon, Executive Vice President and Head of the Industrial Safety Division, stated, "With summers arriving earlier and heat-related illnesses becoming a persistent issue, we decided to hold the exhibition in April to help with on-site response. Although it was our first event, it was meaningful in that we were able to hear vivid feedback directly from the field and reflect it in our product development and launch processes."

As awareness of heat-related illnesses during the summer continues to rise in the industrial sector due to climate change, these proactive technology development and communication efforts by companies are considered key to ensuring worker safety and maintaining on-site work efficiency.
