National Safety Apparel (NSA) has acquired Kansas-based King Louie, a US apparel manufacturer. Since 1937, the name "King Louie" has been a symbol of quality, value and first-class service. King Louie America proudly continues this tradition with union made, USA made shirts, outerwear and ladies wear. In 2018, National Safety Apparel acquired Rubin Brothers, another union made, USA made apparel manufacturer. The proven success of increasing capacity and adding experienced team members to the NSA family through the Rubin Brothers acquisition laid the groundwork for the King Louie acquisition.
