“This award from PCIAW® is a powerful validation of our mission: to make precise, scalable body measurement accessible to every brand that cares about fit, safety and sustainability,” said Dragos Tanasa CEO of Esenca Sizing. “From workwear and PPE to medical products, we’re helping our partners move from guesswork to data-driven sizing – reducing returns, improving wearer comfort and speeding up product development.”

Transforming sizing for workwear, PPE and medical products.

Over the past five years, Esenca Sizing has built a comprehensive body measurement platform that supports foot, hand, and full-body solutions tailored to the realities of professional clothing and PPE supply chains. It’s technology has been deployed in workwear, footwear, protective equipment, and medical applications, including compression garments and orthotics.

Esenca Sizing has been built from the ground up with data protection and privacy as a core requirement.

Additionally, Esenca Sizing provides offline measurement solutions that work without internet access, allowing for large measurement projects (like in factories, logistics centres, or healthcare settings) where internet access might be poor while still providing accurate and consistent measurements and fit suggestions.

“PCIAW® has been at the forefront of the industry’s digital transition,” Dragos Tanase added. “To receive this award from such a respected association – surrounded by leading manufacturers, brands and PPE specialists – is a huge honour for our entire team and our partners.”
