National Uniform Day talk from LION
As we reflect on National Uniform Day, we want to recognize how our valued NAUMD member, LION, marked the occasion. CEO Steve Schwartz shared with team members the company’s rich history, starting in the 1930s with their founder, Clarence Lapedes. From humble beginnings in Dayton, Ohio, LION grew into a leader in the uniform industry, innovating to meet the needs of public safety professionals.
Steve spoke about Clarence’s pivotal moment during a road trip when he noticed the need for gas station attendant uniforms—a spark that led to decades of success. From creating firefighter station wear to acquiring law enforcement uniform leader Elbeco in 2022, LION’s legacy is rooted in service, teamwork, and pride.
While National Uniform Day has passed, LION’s dedication to providing high-quality uniforms for those who serve remains unwavering. We are proud to have them as part of the NAUMD community.
