Born from Vision, Built on Engineering

SafeSew was born from the conviction that the apparel industry's structural dependence on low-cost manual labor in Asia was unsustainable — environmentally, strategically, and economically. Founded by Eduardo Tavarez, a C-suite executive with deep roots in the protective apparel industry, SafeSew spent over a decade developing a proprietary automated garment assembly system from the ground up.

Today, SafeSew holds 3 patents for its MCNC (Mirrored Computed Navigated Construction) technology, with 40% of the detailed machine design complete and 100% of the core solutions engineered and validated in our laboratory.

Our mission targets the $80 billion disposable and chemical protection apparel market — an industry dominated by brands like DuPont, 3M, Kimberly-Clark, and Ansell that rely entirely on Asian contractors for production. SafeSew changes this equation fundamentally.

Courage to Innovate

We are living in times of high competitiveness and transformation, where new solutions and companies emerge every day. Companies that are unable to reinvent themselves at a fast pace are losing their way at the same speed.

SafeSew is a revolutionary company formed from the vision of modernizing the disposable apparel production worldwide. We don't just improve existing processes — we replace them entirely with something fundamentally better.

Our cornerstone concept utilizes proven technologies from dissimilar and unrelated industries. The FRFG (From Roll to Finished Good) production line changes all the manufacturing process and can impact the whole apparel industry, bringing manufacturing back to developed countries and reducing overall costs by a third.

Where Engineering Meets Industry

SafeSew's expertise spans mechanical engineering, CNC automation, ultrasonic welding technology, protective apparel manufacturing standards, and Latin American & global market dynamics. This rare combination allows us to solve a problem that has challenged the industry for decades.

Build the First Machine

Phase 1 of the SafeSew project focuses on designing, building, and commissioning the first FRFG (From Roll to Finished Good) automated garment production line — and establishing the first plant to produce disposable protective coveralls at commercial scale.

The initial plant will be located in the United States, with engineering and commercial operations based in São Paulo, Brazil. Total investment for Phase 1: US$34 million.

Disposable Coveralls, Reimagined

The global market for disposable and chemical protective clothing represents $80 billion annually — and it is served today by an entirely manual, outsourced, Asian-based supply chain. SafeSew's Phase 1 targets this market directly.

Our automated line produces over 1,000 disposable coveralls per hour — 5,000 per shift — with 100% seam inspection, consistent sizing, and no human contact during production. The result: medical-grade cleanliness at industrial-scale pricing.

Barrier Performance at Scale

Chemical protection garments demand the most stringent manufacturing standards — sealed seams, zero defects, consistent barrier performance. The SafeSew system's ultrasonic welding technology and 100% electronic inspection make it uniquely capable of meeting these standards at industrial scale.

Sealed seam garments — currently a premium product requiring additional manual processing — are produced by SafeSew at the same cost as standard coveralls. This fundamentally disrupts the pricing of sealed-seam chemical protection apparel.

Clean Room Ready by Design

Conventional garment manufacturing involves hundreds of human operators handling fabric — an inherent contamination risk for clean room apparel. SafeSew's automated process eliminates human contact entirely, producing garments to clean room standards as a default — not an added cost.

Sealed seam garments for ISO Class 1–5 clean rooms are produced at the same cost as standard coveralls — a dramatic pricing revolution for semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and aerospace manufacturing environments.

National Security in PPE Supply

COVID-19 exposed the catastrophic risk of depending on Asian supply chains for critical PPE. Developed countries — the USA, European nations — found themselves unable to source basic protective garments for healthcare workers during the peak of the pandemic.

SafeSew's local manufacturing model directly addresses this national security concern. With plants in the USA and Europe, healthcare-grade protective garments can be manufactured domestically at competitive costs — ensuring supply chain resilience in future health emergencies.

About 70% of all global apparel manufacturing is located in Asia, in countries like China, Vietnam, India, and Bangladesh — with about 60% of worldwide garment workers paid below minimum wage. SafeSew brings production home.
