A pair of Wisconsin companies have joined efforts to begin making barrier masks for medical personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Monterey Mills in Janesville is the largest textile mill of its kind in North America, and they make knitted pile fabric which is used in medical and air filtration products.
Eder Flag of Oak Creek has converted part of its flag-sewing operations to help produce masks in partnership with Monterey Mills.
The two companies already have 20 thousand of the masks pre-sold.
