Memphis facility is fulfilling high-volume
orders for single-use masks that meet federal requirements
Jabil (NYSE: JBL) today announced that together with its
subsidiary medical device company, NP Medical, Inc., the company is
ready to deliver personal protective equipment (PPE) orders of
medical-quality, FDA-cleared, made in USA face masks, directly and
reliably sourced through Jabil’s U.S.-based operations in Memphis,
Tennessee. As a GSA-Schedule holder, Jabil is positioned to quickly
support the mask mandate recently issued by President Biden,
requiring individuals to wear masks on federal property as well as
on planes, trains, buses and at airports.
“Our work with local and state governments to fulfill
high-volume orders of PPE made in the USA means the general
population can get access to these highly effective masks,” said
Charlie Main, senior vice president of business development, Jabil.
“Designed to meet the stringent protection requirements of
operating room personnel, general healthcare workers and their
patients, these masks are ideal for protecting employees and
complying with the mask mandate.”
The NP Medical nPro™ single-use, disposable, FDA-cleared
three-ply surgical masks provide excellent protection and are
designed to meet ASTM F2100-19 Level 1 requirements, providing over
99% Sub-micron Particulate (PFE) and Bacterial Filtration
Efficiency (BFE). The masks feature elastic ear loops, an
adjustable nose wire and vertically adjustable pleats to ensure a
snug and comfortable fit.
“Jabil, like so many manufacturers in America, has stepped up to
the challenges of the pandemic, including shifting U.S. facilities
to mask and PPE production, for which there is much demand,” said
National Association of Manufacturers President and CEO Jay
Timmons.
Jabil is offering these masks as a directly sourced, reliable
supply of PPE for large orders. To order a box of samples to
