Ortho Mattress is repurposing its Phoenix factory to help produce non-N95 face masks for the public. The factory is working to produce 1,000 non-medical face masks a day, according to a news release from the company.
“Our heart went out to our customers in hospitality for the immediate need to protect their workers, and we now are embracing this call to action to support others in our community,” said Ken Karmin, the CEO of Ortho Mattress. “Mayor Garcetti’s plea that people should wear a protective face covering made us realize the imperative to step up our efforts to reduce the spread of the coronavirus to the best of our abilities. It’s a small step, but a needed one that we were happy to make because we’re truly all in this together.”
