N95 and KN95 face masks as well as masks for kids, with the
greatest demand coming from customers in the US, France, and Italy. We have always maintained the highest
levels of corporate social responsibility and believe the most
important thing we can do right now is to stabilize the supply
chain and shipping process for medical supplies to ensure access
for everyone. Now, more than ever, is a time to prioritize
corporate social responsibility and we are making plans with that
in mind. Our deepest thoughts are with those currently being
affected by the pandemic and sincerely hope for a quick recovery
