Grace Industries

Grace Industries was founded in 1974 when we designed one of the first solid-state hydrocarbon gas detectors. This product line spurred the growth of the company which led in to many other safety related areas. Since the 1980s, Grace has devoted much of its efforts on Firefighter Personal Alert Safety Systems (PASS), which Grace is now the leading designer and producer of PASS product worldwide. Innovation resulting from designing these critical life-safety product lines has crossed in to many industrial worker safety applications. Grace products are used in many areas when a rugged, durable, high-performance and reliable worker safety system is needed.
