With a History of Innovation and Leadership, the Company That Began as ISECO is now Canada's "Work Authority."

In 1938, a one-man company began that would become the pre-eminent provider of managed footwear programs to Canadian industry. Operating under the name Industrial Safety Equipment Company (ISECO), it built a reputation over almost seven decades for leadership and innovation.

The company was the first to offer mobile service to industrial plants and worksites in the 1940s. It was instrumental in working with the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in the 1960s to develop safety footwear and equipment standards. And it was first to offer a technology solution to provide customers with "managed footwear programs" in the 1990s.
