A Leicester, UK based knitwear manufacturer has joined the fight against the COVID-19 by pivoting its production of knitwear to make protective face masks for the general public and workers. Mars Knitwear has worked closely with Stoll GB and its Knit Design Centre to bring to market the range of protective flat knitted face masks.
“Following our product development, Stoll GB are delighted to announce that Mars Knitwear of Leicester have taken on the manufacturing of high-quality face masks for businesses and personal use,” David Williams, Managing Director of Stoll GB and the Knit Design Centre, said.
Mars Knitwear’s Premium Face Masks are specially designed to provide unparalleled comfort without compromising on protection. The masks are made from Diolen high tenacity polyester, and incorporate silver, a material long known to provide long lasting protection against bacteria, allergens, and germs. The masks are both reusable and machine washable.
“Our seamless manufacturing process allows the mask to be perfectly contoured and the specially designed straps are wider at the back of the ear to maximise on comfort,” Mars Knitwear says.
The company stresses that although its masks are proudly Made in Britain, they are not suitable for hospital environments. “Our masks don’t take away from the PPE required by the NHS,” it adds.
