The company, which is part of the Taparo group, one of the largest upholstered furniture entrepreneurial businesses in Romania, is currently exporting 75% of its production to Germany, France, Israel, Austria and UK.
“We opened offices in Bucharest and Budapest and are in advanced talks for partnerships in the US, where Techtex products got FDA certification. With our current partnerships we are exporting 75% of our production to Germany, France, Israel, Austria and UK,” says Ioan Filip, chairman of the Taparo group and shareholder of Techtex.
Techtex makes 45 million surgical masks and 10 million FFP2 masks a month, and the official of the company expects the FFP2 mask production capacity to increase by 15 million units per month by end of March. Its mask brand is Dr. Albert.
The company started manufacturing masks in April 2020. Techtex is the only producer of non-woven fabric in Romania and can ensure the necessary amount for two of the three layers of surgical masks, as well as for other protective equipment such as coveralls, gowns, surgical caps, hospital booties and disposable bed linen.
