“I've been at Sanigear for almost 7 years and have enjoyed each year I've worked. The staff and management are all kind, caring and compassionate people. They are the reason I've been able to grow and thrive working at Sanigear. We work well as a team to ensure a smooth flow of operation and to achieve the best results for our customers. Working as a driver also allows me to interact directly with the firefighters and stations we work with. This has given me a greater appreciation for the work they do and has given me more pride to know we all work hard to ensure their health, wellness and safety. And because we work hard for them, they can work harder to protect and serve our communities. I always feel proud to tell anyone new what I do for work and the vital job Sanigear plays in helping the community.”

Our productivity as a team is very exciting, rewarding and continues to grow. The entire team, including team leads are always ready to help.”

Sani Gear Kitchener Plant Manager – June 2023 – Present
“I never expected to find a second home, but that's exactly what happened when I joined Sani Gear on a part-time basis in 2023. As I fell deeper in love with the company, I knew I had to make the leap to full-time Plant Lead in 2024. What drew me in was the sense of belonging and purpose that comes with being part of a team that truly values its employees.

Our employer often says that we're the foundation of the company, and I believe her. The way we're treated, the opportunities we're given, and the respect we're shown make it clear that we're the heart of Sani Gear. When you feel valued, you want to give your best, and that's exactly what happens here every day.

The benefits are exceptional – 100% paid company benefits, paid medical coverage, RRSP matching, a birthday off, and recognition for years of service. But it's more than just perks; it's the knowledge that our employer has our best interests in mind. That trust and appreciation motivate me to give my best every day.

I'm grateful to be part of this team, where everyone is motivated to achieve their best. It's an incredible feeling to know that our work makes a difference, and I'm proud to be part of the Sani Gear family.”
Jeff Hermo
Quality Supervisor, Technology – July 2023 – Present
“Working at Sanigear has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career, and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a meaningful and supportive team. For the past two years, I’m reminded of how important our work is. We’re not just cleaning and altering firefighter gear—we’re helping to keep the brave men and women who protect our communities safe. That sense of purpose is something I carry with me, and it makes be proud to come to work.

What I love most about Sanigear is how much everyone cares—not just about the quality of the work we do, but about each other. As part of the QA team, I’ve seen how every single person here takes their role seriously, double-checking every detail to make sure the gear we handle meets the highest standards. It’s not just about ticking boxes; it’s about knowing that firefighters rely on us to get it right. And when you see the team come together to solve a problem or improve a process, it’s inspiring. We’re all in this together, and that’s something really special.

But it’s not just the work that makes Sanigear great—it’s the people. From day one, I’ve felt welcomed and supported. My colleagues are like family, and the leadership team is approachable and genuinely invested in our growth. I’ve learned so much here, not just about quality assurance but about teamwork, communication, and the importance of doing work that matters. Whether it’s a quick chat over coffee or a brainstorming session to improve our processes, there’s always a sense of collaboration and respect. It’s the kind of environment where you feel valued, and that makes all the difference.

At the end of the day, what keeps me motivated is knowing that what we do has a real impact. Firefighters put their lives on the line for us, and being part of a company that supports them in such a direct way is incredibly rewarding. Sanigear isn’t just a job for me—it’s a place where I’ve grown, where I’ve built relationships, and where I feel like I’m making a difference. I’m excited to see what the future holds, and I’m grateful to be part of such an amazing team.”
