GVS

GVS is an Italian manufacturer founded in 1979, headquartered in Bologna, with manufacturing and R&D operations across Europe, North America, and Asia. The company's Safety division produces the Elipse line of half-mask and full-face respirators, designed for industrial and professional use. GVS entered the US market with NIOSH-approved products and is recognized for engineering lightweight, low-profile elastomeric respirators with the proprietary Elipse facepiece geometry.

The Elipse P100 series is GVS's most visible consumer product in North America, widely used in construction, auto body work, and home improvement. GVS respiratory products carry certifications under NIOSH 42 CFR Part 84 for the US market, with the company noted for its thin-profile facepiece design that reduces interference with safety glasses and improves peripheral vision.
