RefrigiWear absorbs Samco Freezerwear

June 1, 2022
Acquisition creates more options in insulated workwear for the cold chain, companies say

RefrigiWear, the largest supplier of insulated work apparel for the cold chain, recently acquired Samco Freezerwear.

Founded in 1968, Samco is a provider of freezerwear, insulated industrial workwear, and other insulated industrial apparel and accessories for workers in the food-related cold chain.

“We are excited to welcome Samco to the RefrigiWear family,” said Ryan Silberman, CEO at RefrigiWear. “This acquisition will help us serve our customers with a broader range of choices. For us, it’s all about the customer and gaining capabilities to serve the ever-changing and demanding environments they face in the cold chain.

“This acquisition is a strong statement of our continued support of the workers and companies that help bring food to our kitchen tables.”

Both companies offer a selection of products that keep workers warm and safe in temperature-controlled distribution and production facilities, which sometimes operate in temperatures well below freezing. RefrigiWear and Samco say they will continue to operate under separate brand names with diverse product offerings for customers small and large.
