SHERWOOD, OR — North American safety helmet and accessory maker, STUDSON, marked the opening of its new 42,815-square-foot headquarters at the Sherwood Commerce Center in Sherwood, Oregon, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring company executives, local dignitaries, partners, neighbors, and customers.
Between 2022 and 2024, STUDSON increased sales by 706 percent, prompting a move to Sherwood from its previous location in Tigard, Oregon. The facility features multiple office suites, conference rooms, collaborative spaces, and a warehouse that is 28,000 square feet larger than its previous location.
“Our new Sherwood headquarters is a notable milestone for STUDSON. We sold and shipped more than 362,000 safety helmets last year, and we’re projected to surpass that in 2025,” said Ryan Barnes, Founder and CEO of STUDSON. “The new office — especially the warehouse space — is mission-critical for meeting the significant demand from industrial organizations opting for STUDSON safety helmets and accessories over the traditional hard hats of yesteryear.”
The event included representatives from the Sherwood Chamber of Commerce, Schnitzer Properties, the American Heart Association, and key technology partners, including Koroyd, Twiceme Technology, Fidlock, and HighBar.
“We are thrilled to welcome STUDSON to Sherwood," Sherwood Mayor Tim Rosener said. "Their commitment to innovation, safety, and growth reflects the values we champion as a city. STUDSON’s new headquarters is not only a win for our local economy, but also a testament to Sherwood’s ability to attract cutting-edge companies making a national impact.”

“As a lifelong Oregonian, I am so proud of Ryan Barnes for creating an amazing Oregon business. That old adage, ‘Find a niche and fill it,’ is so true,” said Jordan Schnitzer, President and CEO, Schnitzer Properties. “On behalf of Schnitzer Properties, we are honored to welcome you to Sherwood Commerce Center, and our best wishes to you for continued success.”
“Just five years ago, we were still operating out of a garage part time,” Barnes said. “I can’t express how grateful I am for the support of our customers, team, technology partners, and our new community in Sherwood.”
