Our Company
PM Atemschutz: Specialists in Respiratory Protection and Occupational Safety
PM Atemschutz is a family-owned company based in Mönchengladbach, Germany. Since its foundation in 1992, the company has evolved from a specialist supplier of powered respiratory protection systems into a comprehensive partner for respiratory protection, body protection, and occupational safety solutions.
Today, we serve as a wholesaler, service provider, and consulting partner. Above all, we are the trusted point of contact for companies that expect more from personal protective equipment than simply product supply.
Our focus is on high-quality occupational safety solutions for professional applications. Our portfolio includes filtering and supplied-air respiratory protection, powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR), compressed air systems, body protection, welding protection, fall protection equipment, gas detection technology, and complementary PPE components.
What sets us apart is the combination of a comprehensive product portfolio, technical expertise, and dedicated service. We support our customers not only in selecting the right PPE but throughout the entire process – from application analysis and practical field testing to training, instruction, maintenance, repair, logistics, and long-term supply management.
For many years, our guiding principle has been:
We create solutions.
We do not view occupational safety as simply selling products. Our goal is to identify the right solution for every application – technically effective, compliant with applicable standards, economically viable, and readily accepted by the people who use it every day.

Why PM Atemschutz?
Why Companies Trust PM Atemschutz for Their PPE Procurement
Occupational safety is complex. Hazardous substances, working conditions, legal requirements, industry standards, and user needs must all be considered together. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is only effective when it is properly matched to the specific application and accepted by the people who use it every day.
That is why PM Atemschutz is more than a PPE supplier. We are a specialized partner for respiratory protection and occupational safety. We do not simply determine which product is suitable – we evaluate whether the entire solution will perform effectively in practice, both technically and economically, while meeting the needs of the end user.
Our goal is not to sell a particular product. Our goal is to provide a safe, practical, and reliable solution for your specific application.
Specialized Technical Expertise
Respiratory protection is one of our core areas of expertise. We understand the differences between filtering and supplied-air respiratory protection, masks, powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR), compressed air systems, filters, headtops, and protective suits.
Manufacturer-Independent Product Selection
We work with numerous leading manufacturers and evaluate products objectively. This enables us to recommend the solution that best matches your specific requirements and applications, rather than promoting a particular brand or product.
Field Testing and User Feedback
Personal protective equipment must perform reliably in real working environments. That is why, when required, we involve end users in the selection process and provide suitable systems for wear trials and practical field testing. This ensures that the chosen solution delivers both the required level of protection and user acceptance in everyday use.
Service Beyond the Purchase
Professionally used PPE requires regular maintenance, inspection, and repair. With our in-house service workshop and trained technical specialists, we continue to support our customers long after the initial purchase, providing reliable long-term service and support.
Training & Instruction
Our practical, hands-on training programs provide users with the knowledge and confidence to use respiratory protection and occupational safety equipment safely and effectively.
Fast Availability & Extensive Stockholding
We maintain a comprehensive inventory of equipment, filters, spare parts, and consumables to ensure rapid availability. For recurring requirements, we also offer dedicated stockholding and call-off agreements to help customers avoid supply shortages and maintain operational continuity.
Sales & Rental Solutions
Products are available for purchase or as rental solutions for projects, maintenance shutdowns, plant turnarounds, and short-term operational requirements.
In-House Development & Innovation
When standard solutions are not enough, we go further. Our development team works on proprietary products, customer-specific solutions, and innovative respiratory protection systems designed to meet unique application requirements.
More Than a Supplier
More Than PPE Distribution: Complete Solutions from a Single Source
Many companies research products through technical distributors or online and then purchase what appears to be a suitable solution. In practice, however, personal protective equipment often needs to meet far more requirements than initially apparent.
- Is the product truly suitable for the identified hazard?
- Is the respiratory filter appropriate for the specific hazardous substance?
- Is the headtop compatible with the selected system?
- Is the complete system certified and approved as a unit?
- Will users accept the equipment and wear it correctly?
- How will the PPE be maintained, inspected, and serviced?
- Will spare parts and consumables remain available in the long term?
- What training and instruction are required?
PM Full-Service Solutions
From Initial Assessment to Long-Term Support
Our goal is not simply to help companies procure PPE, but to develop the right protection strategy for their specific requirements. We support our customers throughout the entire process – from the initial assessment to maintenance and long-term supply management.
Based on workplace evaluations and risk assessment results, our safety specialists work closely with you to identify the specific hazards and protection requirements within your organization.
Our qualified PPE specialists provide professional, manufacturer-independent advice and work with you to develop a solution tailored to your operational requirements. Where appropriate, we support the selection process with practical field testing under real working conditions.
We provide the right protective equipment for your workforce, whether through direct purchase or flexible rental options. Rental equipment offers a cost-effective solution for projects, shutdowns, maintenance work, and temporary operational requirements, with rapid availability and flexible rental periods.
Our extensive central warehouse enables us to respond quickly to unexpected demands and help prevent supply shortages. High stock availability, substantial storage capacity, and optimized logistics processes ensure reliable long-term supply security for our customers.
High-quality personal protective equipment is only one part of workplace safety. Equally important is the correct use, inspection, and care of the equipment. Our practical training programs provide employees with the knowledge and confidence required to use PPE safely and effectively.
Professionally used PPE must be regularly inspected, maintained, and serviced by qualified personnel. Our trained and certified service technicians inspect, maintain, and repair equipment in accordance with applicable legal requirements and manufacturer specifications, helping to ensure both compliance and operational reliability.
Industry Expertise
Solutions for Demanding Industries
Every industry has its own unique requirements when it comes to personal protective equipment. That is why selecting PPE based solely on technical specifications is not enough. What matters most is how the equipment performs in the actual working environment.
For many years, PM Atemschutz has supported customers across a wide range of industries. Through this experience, we have learned that personal consultation, industry-specific expertise, and the selection of the right protective solution are essential for creating effective and widely accepted occupational safety concepts.

Equipment for critical emergency operations, decontamination procedures, and specialized response requirements.

Research & Development
When Standard Solutions Are Not Enough
Not every challenge can be solved with a standard product. Many applications require specific considerations regarding protection performance, user comfort, system compatibility, cleaning procedures, wear time, or cost efficiency. That is why PM Atemschutz maintains its own dedicated research and development department.
Our development team works on unique technical challenges, new product concepts, customer-specific requirements, and innovative respiratory protection solutions. We support projects from the initial idea through to the final implementation.
In addition, PM Atemschutz actively participates in research and development initiatives and collaborates with manufacturers, institutions, universities, research networks, and customers. These partnerships enable us to identify emerging requirements at an early stage, advance technical solutions, and adapt occupational safety products to real-world working conditions.

Logistics Expertise
Reliable Supply When It Matters Most
In many industries, personal protective equipment, respiratory protection systems, and consumable supplies are safety-critical and must be available at all times.
