which allows the company to develop
a keen understanding of the customer safety requirements for a diverse

MSA was founded in 1914 by John T. Ryan and George H. Deike, two
mining engineers who had firsthand knowledge of the terrible human loss that
was occurring in underground coal mines. Their knowledge of the mining
industry provided the foundation for the development of safety equipment to
better protect underground miners. While the range of
markets served by MSA has expanded greatly
over the years, the founding philosophy of
understanding customer safety needs and
designing innovative safety equipment
solutions remains unchanged.
MSA is headquartered in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, with operations employing
4,900 associates throughout the world.
A publicly held company, MSA’s stock
is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol MSA. |
