Arbortec: Built to Set the Standard
Professional arboriculture leaves no margin for uncertainty. The equipment arborists rely on must perform without hesitation, keeping full focus on the work itself. Chainsaw protective apparel becomes part of that foundation. It needs to move naturally, protect consistently and retain its integrity over time.
For over 30 years, Arbortec has been committed to delivering that standard. Our mission is to design and manufacture chainsaw protective apparel that provides uncompromising protection, lasting comfort and dependable performance. Arbortec is recognised as the world’s best manufacturer of chainsaw apparel, a position earned through experience, controlled manufacturing and a deep understanding of the profession.
Everything we do is shaped by those who live the TreeLife.
Built alongside the profession
For over 30 years, Arbortec has worked alongside arborists to advance how chainsaw protective apparel performs under real working conditions. Protection existed, but comfort, mobility and durability were often secondary considerations.
From the outset, we chose a different path.
By working directly with arborists and understanding how protective apparel performs through daily use, Arbortec developed equipment designed around real working demands. Protection remained absolute, but wearability became equally important. Equipment needed to support the arborist rather than restrict them.
That approach continues to guide us today. Our heritage is defined by decades of experience, shaped through collaboration, feedback and continuous refinement. It is a process grounded in respect for the arborist community and the standards they uphold every day.
Manufacturing without compromise
A defining part of Arbortec is our factory in Portugal. Establishing our own manufacturing facility gave us full ownership over how our chainsaw protective apparel is produced.
In-house manufacturing ensures consistency across every product and gives us the ability to refine designs continuously. Every material is selected for performance. Every garment is produced to meet the standard arborists expect from Arbortec.
This level of control maintains quality and ensures our equipment performs reliably under demanding conditions. It remains fundamental to how Arbortec continues to set the benchmark in chainsaw apparel.
For arborists, it provides confidence in the equipment they rely on.
Innovation driven by purpose
Innovation has always been central to Arbortec’s development. Our focus has been to improve how chainsaw protective apparel performs in the field.
The introduction of Breatheflex chainsaw trousers marked a clear progression. They delivered certified protection alongside improved flexibility and comfort, giving arborists greater freedom of movement without compromising safety.
This approach continues across our entire range. Every refinement is informed by real-world use and shaped by feedback from arborists. Innovation is not treated as a single moment. It is a continuous process that ensures Arbortec equipment evolves alongside the profession.
Because those who live the TreeLife rely on equipment that performs without compromise.
Trusted across industries
Arboriculture remains at the core of Arbortec, but the trust placed in our equipment extends beyond it. Our chainsaw protective apparel is worn across forestry, utilities, rail and emergency response sectors where reliability and performance are critical.
Alongside our protective equipment, Arbortec also develops a lifestyle range that reflects the identity behind the work itself. Built with the same attention to quality and durability, it gives arborists and outdoor professionals a way to represent the TreeLife beyond the canopy.
Everything Arbortec produces reflects the same commitment to performance, durability and purpose.
Being recognised as the world’s best manufacturer of chainsaw apparel reflects the trust placed in us by professionals worldwide.
Supporting the ArboStar community
ArboStar supports arborists as they manage and strengthen their operations. Arbortec supports those same professionals with chainsaw protective apparel built to perform reliably under demanding conditions.
That alignment is already visible within the Arbortec community. Ambassador Nathan Stanley relies on ArboStar to bring structure and consistency to his operations, helping him manage workflow, safety and day-to-day responsibilities through a single system. Arbortec partner Simeon Balsam, host of the Visual Climber podcast, values the ability to quote and manage work on site, keeping operations moving efficiently without delay. For professionals operating at that level, the systems they use matter just as much as the equipment they wear.
This shared focus makes the partnership between Arbortec and ArboStar a natural fit. Both exist to support arborists through solutions designed specifically for the profession.
For ArboStar users, Arbortec provides equipment built on decades of experience, refined through controlled manufacturing and trusted by arborists worldwide.
