11 Brands Making Made in USA Face Masks
Early in the pandemic, the US supply chain was not prepared for the demand of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) the country would require. Hospitals and front-line workers faced shortages of critical PPE and face masks.
Apparel companies that still had factories in the USA mobilized and answered the call of politicians and local hospitals; converting operations to make PPE and face masks. The pandemic showed the importance of maintaining USA manufacturing capacity.
CDC recommends that people wear masks in public and when around people who don’t live in your household. We have put together a list of companies that are making face masks in the USA. These masks are non-medical grade and are not meant for healthcare workers.
