Doing What Matters

We believe in a uniform’s power to inspire and elevate. Not just appearance, but also the person, the place and the sense of purpose that happens when the two come together.

For us, it’s about showing respect for the people who wear our apparel, and respect for the work they do and the organizations they represent. At Barco, we’ve been doing just that for more than 85 years by living, breathing and designing uniforms that always look professional, feel amazing and can be counted on to perform as impeccably as the people wearing them. Why? Because our mission – our reason for being – is making uniforms that people not only love to wear, they’re proud to wear them.

We Are The Barco Family

Every month we feature a little about members of our Barco Family, in recognition of employees’ years of service.

Happy Anniversary!!!
