“We’re adjusting. We saw the need for such products and decided to answer the demand for protective gear. We therefore organized things in-house to be able to make masks,” says Robert Zisu, chairman of the board of Braiconf Braila.
Braiconf has 700 employees and Zisu says the idea to make masks started from the desire to protect them. The company tried to buy masks and was unable to find any.
“We realized others are going through the same thing, too. There is demand on the market from partners, from telecom or utilities companies (…)”
The mask production capacity is still being assessed, because this is the first time the company is making such a product, Zisu says. Braiconf estimates it could turn out several hundred thousand masks per month.
The masks are not certified for medical use but their offer a degree of protection to those who wear them in their daily activity. The masks can be washed and sanitized.
