Alpha Pro Tech Sees Continued Demand for Personal Protective Equipment Products in Response to Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pande...
March 12 2020 - 6:45AM
Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. (NYSE American:
APT), a
leading manufacturer of products designed to protect people,
products and environments, including disposable protective apparel
and building products, today announced an update to the status of
orders booked for APT’s personal protective equipment products in
connection with the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
As of March 11, 2020, APT has booked
approximately $22.6 million in orders for the company’s proprietary
N-95 Particulate Respirator face mask since January 27, 2020, an
increase of $8.5 million, or 60%, from the $14.1 million reported
as of February 27, 2020, and demand for the product remains strong.
As a result of a ramp up in production, the company maintains
expectations to fulfill approximately $4.0 million of the currently
booked orders in the first quarter of 2020, with the remaining
$18.6 million in backlog of orders to be fulfilled by early in the
third quarter of 2020. The company still expects the ramp up
plan on N-95 face mask production to be completed by early May,
which will enable the company to continue to fulfill current and
expected future orders.
In addition, orders of the company’s line of
face shield products have also increased significantly since
January 27, 2020, currently totaling over $1.6 million, with
approximately $1.0 million of the orders being booked since the
company’s February 27, 2020 press release, and demand remains
strong. The $1.6 million in currently booked orders
represents the approximate average annual sales for this product
line over the last three years.
The Alpha Pro Tech N-95 Particulate Respirator
face mask’s unique flat-fold design features a Positive Facial
Lock® (PFL®) and meets the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s (CDC) and National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health’s (NIOSH) recommended protection levels for many
airborne contaminants. The N-95 face mask filters at least
95% of airborne particles. The integrated Magic Arch®
technology creates a comfortable breathing chamber within the N-95
face mask by holding it away from the wearer’s nose and
mouth.
