Members of Sweden’s ACG Group have rapidly responded to their country’s urgent need for PPE (protective personal equipment), by setting up and staffing a dedicated new nonwovens fabric converting and single-use garment making-up plant in just three weeks.
The new plant was established to convert and coat the fabrics and turn them into fully finished protective overalls for hospital staffers each month. It now employs 80 staffers in a two-shift operation, and has been such a success that a second immediate order has been secured from the Swedish authorities. This will push production up to a monthly 1.8 million square meters of converted fabrics turned into 692,000 finished medical garments.
