Radians, Inc., a leader in the personal protective equipment industry, has made a significant capital investment in warehouse automation at their Memphis headquarters.
Radians' new order fulfillment system, or pick module, from Integrated Solutions will be fully operational by July. Once completed, the automated system will become the central hub of their warehouse operations, expediting the pick and ship process for optimum product flow.

Avon Protection Systems Inc. has been awarded another sizable contract from the U.S. Department of Defense to produce the firm's M50 mask systems.  

The shale oil and gas boom in the United States has encouraged many personal protective equipment (PPE) suppliers to target the oil and gas industry, with the post-recession industrial outlook relatively bleak in North America. Following the game-changing success of the United States, many countries across the world have started exploring their shale resources, thereby generating potential demand for PPE.
