Elgin, Illinois – October 4, 2022:  SureWerx, a leading global provider of safety, tool & equipment products, announced that it has acquired NEOS Overshoe from Rocky Brands, Inc (NASDAQ: RCKY). Terms were not disclosed.

Today, NEOS products are available to workers across a broad spectrum of industries, including logistics, transportation, utilities, law enforcement, agriculture, and the public sector. The NEOS Overshoe offers an extra level of comfort, durability, insulation and traction to help keep feet and shoes dry and protected in the harshest environments.  Overshoe options include integrated ice cleats to minimize slips and falls during winter use, and non-spiked versions, offering 100% protection for your footwear of choice from wet, muddy, snowy and icy conditions.
