Taking up the challenge of fabric masks together

n the midst of the Coronavirus crisis, the CEPOVETT group provided support to health professionals and exposed workers who continued to keep the country's vital industries running during lockdown. Aware of its pivotal role as a major player in the market for personal protection in the workplace, the company mobilised its technical R&D capabilities and its ecosystem of industrial partners to provide alternative masks for non-healthcare use.

Its design studio's protective clothing know-how and committed technical teams working remotely made it possible to create masks meeting Afnor standards, in 100% woven fabric. Employees worked remotely to ensure business continuity for the group while protecting their health and that of their loved ones. The technical and logistical departments, as well as the e-commerce sites, thus remained fully operational and the sales teams were mobilised and attentive to customers' needs.
