\u00d6hringen, April 15th<\/sup>, 2020. Filtration Group Industrial, a global filtration company based in \u00d6hringen, Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg, converts a part of its production to breathing masks within one week. The reason for the production switch – in addition to the personal requirements for the workforce – is to provide the population with urgently needed breathing masks. In this way, the expert in industrial filtration technology makes its contribution to society in times of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic – and lives up to its claim of making the world safer, healthier and more productive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production of the breathing mask starts immediately. Around 30,000 masks will be produced in the production plant in \u00d6hringen every week. This is made possible by the combined expertise of the company as a filter media supplier and filter manufacturer, quick decision-making processes that characterize German medium-sized companies and a short supply chain within Europe. \u201cIn a first step, we will equip our employees with our own breathing masks. In this way we can ensure that production can continue for our core business and at the same time that we take appropriate account of health protection\u201d, explains Gunnar Halden, President FG Industrial, and adds: \u00ab\u00a0We have never had a change in production at this speed before. I am proud of what we have achieved together in a very short time. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After providing their own workforce with breathing masks, local companies and institutions of public interest, as well as private individuals, will be supplied. The Filtration Group would like to donate the first 10,000 masks to public institutions at their production sites. By producing breathing masks for private use, Filtration Group Industrial wants to help ensure that higher-quality, medically certified protective masks according to the FFP2 and FFP3 standard can continue to be used in hospitals and medical centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
