Sal Longo Acquires Zing Green Products, Expands into New Green Product Lines

OSWEGO, Ill., Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Sal Longo, former owner of Northern Safety Company, has acquired Zing Green Products, a leading provider of sustainable safety solutions. Zing Green Products, originally founded by Tom Prinzing in 2007 as a consulting firm, began manufacturing eco-friendly safety products in 2009. The company is known for producing lockout/tagout products, safety signs, HazCom GHS solutions, and other safety essentials, with the majority of products made in the USA. This acquisition marks a new chapter for Zing Green Products as Longo aims to expand its product lines, focusing on eco-friendly and complementary safety solutions. Tom Prinzing will remain with Zing as the company President.

Commitment to Sustainability and Third-Party Verification

Zing Green Products has built a reputation for sustainability, with more than 80% of its products made from eco-friendly, post-consumer recycled materials. To back the legitimacy of its green claims, Zing's products are third-party verified, ensuring customers can trust their purchases meet high environmental standards. As green purchasing becomes more prevalent, this third-party verification provides companies with the assurance that they are getting certified, eco-friendly safety solutions. "The demand for certified green products is growing rapidly," said Prinzing. "Years ago, only a few companies certified green products, but today, there are hundreds, and verification has become essential."

Sal Longo's Vision for Growth

Sal Longo, who founded Northern Safety in Frankfort, NY, in 1983, brings decades of safety industry experience to his new venture. He expressed his enthusiasm for the future, saying, "I'm excited to build on the strong foundation Tom created with Zing Green Products. We see significant potential in expanding the product line to offer more green PPE options while meeting the growing demand for environmentally responsible safety products."

Tom Prinzing's Confidence in the Transition

Prinzing shared his confidence in Longo's vision: "Sal's experience and success in the safety sector make him the ideal person to lead Zing into its next phase of growth. I look forward to seeing how he will further the company's mission of providing high-quality, sustainable safety products."

Looking Ahead

With the acquisition now complete, Zing Green Products will continue to operate from its headquarters in Oswego, IL. Customers can expect the same commitment to sustainability and safety, along with an expanded product range that reflects the company's dedication to eco-friendly innovation.
