Our Story




A Global Mark of Quality
Wiley X was founded in 1987 and is today recognized as one of the leading manufacturers of protective and performance eyewear. Our headquarters are in Texas, USA, but our EMEA subsidiary, based in Vemb, Denmark, plays a central role in serving customers across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Wiley X EMEA was established in 2007 and has since been led and managed by President Jan Mikkelsen, a veteran with several international deployments. This strong background is reflected throughout the organization, where many of our employees – like Jan Mikkelsen – are veterans with mission experience from Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan – some of the world's most demanding environments. This unique expertise gives Wiley X EMEA an unmatched understanding of the need for uncompromising protection, premium quality, and functionality.
The EMEA division and its dedicated team are not just a logistics and customer service center but also a key driver of innovation, quality assurance, and market expansion throughout the region.
In recent years, Wiley X has experienced significant growth. We have refined our designs, strengthened our market position within both professional and civilian sectors, and delivered solutions that not only meet but exceed the strictest safety and performance standards. Today, Wiley X products stand as a symbol of innovation, quality, and reliability – developed and tested by people who understand the harsh realities of demanding environments.


Global Quality Mark and Innovative Design
Our commitment to quality and innovation has been further strengthened over the past five years through significant investment in research, development, and new production methods. With each new product, we aim to surpass the high standards we set for ourselves. Wiley X has not only established itself as a trusted partner for professionals in the military, police, and rescue services but has also become a preferred choice among outdoor enthusiasts and private users who demand both functionality and style.
One of the key drivers behind this growth has been our relentless focus on delivering protection and performance that withstand the toughest conditions. Over the past five years, we have launched several groundbreaking products that not only meet but exceed industry standards for protection and comfort. We have enhanced the durability and aesthetics of our eyewear, making them the perfect choice for both professionals and adventurers.


Focus on Safety – Protecting Those Who Protect Us
Our primary mission remains to protect those who protect us – our soldiers, police officers, and public service professionals. Over the past years, we have worked intensively to develop products that deliver optimal protection in extreme situations. This includes improved lens technologies, increased durability, and new comfort features designed to meet the needs of those working under the toughest conditions. We are proud to be a major supplier to these sectors and to have earned the trust of our customers worldwide.


Innovative Products for Tradespeople and Work Environments
In addition to serving the needs of military and police professionals, we have also intensified our efforts in recent years to provide solutions for tradespeople and workers who rely on their protective eyewear during long working days. We have further developed our product lines with a strong focus on durability, comfort, and style. Our eyewear is built to withstand the harshest working conditions while offering a stylish appearance and a perfect fit for extended wear.


Strong Growth in the Civilian Market – World-Class Outdoor Eyewear
Wiley X has experienced strong and exponential growth in the civilian market in recent years, particularly among outdoor enthusiasts who demand the best equipment for their adventures. Our eyewear combines cutting-edge technology with advanced design and has gained significant popularity among those who value both functionality and aesthetics. We don't just create eyewear for protection – we craft experiences for those living an active lifestyle.


Wiley X Gives Back – Supporting Those Who Risk It All
Our values extend far beyond eye protection. We have immense respect for the soldiers, officers, and public servants who risk their lives daily to keep us safe. In recent years, we have expanded our support for initiatives that aid individuals affected by the physical and psychological consequences of their service. This includes active support for healthcare initiatives and programs that help them cope with the challenges they face.
