About Us
Ocenco is more than state-of-the-art safety products. Ocenco is people, and it's committed to manufacturing the world's finest safety equipment for hazardous environments.
In 1970, a few enterprising engineers in Blairsville, Pennsylvania envisioned launching a company on the strength of a single idea: high-performance seawater batteries. Using seawater as an electrolyte, this promising new product was marketed to the oceanographic industry.
Driven by their innovative spirit, these entrepreneurs also focused their energy and engineering expertise on a new and growing market for intrinsically safe lighting systems for hazardous environments. Their success not only built an enviable reputation, it built a dynamic company with a track record that attests to its commitment to quality. Throughout its history, Ocenco has produced more than one million safety devices without a single product failure.
Today, Ocenco is a world leader in the manufacture of metabolic simulators, underground lighting systems, and internationally approved breathing devices. Ocenco’s products are designed to set new standards in dependability and safety while exceeding regulatory requirements in militaries and defense departments, industrial workplaces, underground mines, and maritime worksites.
