Topps, originally established as Toppmaster in 1938 by the Elin brothers, has been owned and operated by the BTQ Group and its president, Alan Dorrell since 1997. In the 1990s, Topps became one of the first manufacturers to attain (UL) certification of compliance to NFPA standards.
Pinnacle is excited to continue the Topps brand as its FR Safety brand as well as a compliment to its existing Pinnacle Worx brand of industrial work clothing.
