Amann Group is now using its knowhow for production of FFP2 certified respirators. Amann supports Hauber Group, which is producing urgently needed protective equipment in current crisis situation on behalf of state of Baden-Württemberg. Hauber is founding member of FIGHT consortium whose aim is to establish a resilient mask value-added network in Germany.

Within a short period of time, Hauber united competent medium-sized companies in order to be able to produce certified protective clothing in Germany.

In its highly modern Sewing Technology Center in Bönnigheim, Amann has the necessary machine equipment as well as competent employees with excellent sewing skills. The changeover to processing the new materials could be completed at short notice.

"The production, which we have shortly ramped up, is relatively small within the scope of our laboratory. However, for Amann it is very important that we are committed to improve the supply situation with protective equipment within our possibilities. Because every contribution counts,” said managing director of Amann Group Bodo Bölzle.

The company is now active in the manufacture of respiratory masks. The production is carried out under strict hygienic conditions. The FFP2 masks are certified by Dekra. They are approved for medical personnel during the pandemic to combat the COVID-19 virus. Distribution is carried out by the state of Baden-Württemberg.
