nir-vana innovation network

A German company is part of a holding which associates successful companies with different innovative business areas. Another member of the holding is a German foundation for the promotion of education, science and research as well as public health and care. As they are eager to fulfill those non-profit statutory purposes, the company decided early on to set up their own production facility for melt blown fleece, medical mouth-nose masks and FFP2 respiratory masks in Germany. In the meantime, they received the CE certification for the masks. They can therefore offer respiratory protection masks in best quality "Made in Germany".

The products offered are:
- Medical face masks type IIR (fluid resistant surgical mask which is the “regular” surgical mask often used in clinical settings) with DIN EN 14683:2019-10 standard (“Deutsches Institut für Normung", meaning "German institute for standardisation"), in boxes with 50 pieces (10 polybags with 5 pieces each)

- Multi-layer mouth and nose masks CPA (“Cov-2-Virus Pandemie Atemschutzmaske”, meaning “Cov-2 virus pandemic respirator”), in boxes with 50 pieces (10 polybags with 5 pieces each)

- Everyday masks, foldable everyday masks and hygiene kits (protection and hygiene package with hand disinfectant spray)

- Melt blown fleece for the production of masks. This is essential for filtering pollutants from the air. The melt blown fleece offered by the German company meet high quality standards.

In order to become more independent of overseas flows of goods, the German company offers distribution services agreements for the trade with respiratory masks and melt blown fleece “Made in Germany” in every country of the European Union. The sought partners are expected to distribute the products in their region. It would be an advantage if they had many years of experience in the field of medical protective equipment.
