COVERGUARD®1, European specialist in certified Personal Protective Equipments (PPE), announces the operational commissioning of its first two production lines for single-use, valveless and foldable breathing masks, which required an investment of €1 million at its site in Miribel - Les Echets. 

The COVERGUARD® Group is thus acquiring the capacity to produce in France surgical masks as well as FFP2 respiratory masks, in compliance with French standards (NF) and European standards (EN). The annual production is estimated at around fifteen million surgical masks and nearly ten million FFP2 masks. An option has already been put forward for the acquisition of two other production lines. 
COVERGUARD® will offer its production as a priority to its historical distributor customers as well as to the health authorities. 

Brice de La Morandière, CEO of the COVERGUARD® Group states: "Manufacturing Personal Protective Equipments (PPE) in our facilities is a strategic move for the COVERGUARD® Group. It is an additional step of our strategy to design original, high-performance and comfortable to wear PPE. Manufacturing directly our products will also strengthen COVERGUARD’s R&D and marketing capabilities, enabling them to innovate and improve the performance of its product range ».
