Medical Mask Manufacturer Medicom Announces New Consumer Face Mask Line


MONTREAL, March 23, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - The Medicom Group ("Medicom"), one of the world's leading manufacturers of surgical and respiratory masks, today announced the launch of Medicom Expressions, the company's first face mask designed for non-medical use. Historically, Medicom products have only been available to healthcare and other professionals through a network of authorized distributors, primarily in the medical and dental sectors. The Medicom Expressions line, the company's first direct-to-consumer brand, is now available to consumers in the U.S. and Canada online through Amazon.com and soon, through Amazon.ca.

Infection control experts, such as the CDC and government authorities around the world, have recommended that masks be worn in public places or whenever social distancing is not possible. These guidelines have created new selling channels for manufacturers and given way to new brands of face masks to meet increased demand. However, not all masks offer the same protection, breathability and comfort. Medicom Expressions face masks are made especially for consumers by the same experts trusted by healthcare professionals for more than three decades.

"Medicom has been manufacturing PPE and helping protect healthcare professionals for over 30 years.  We have applied those years of expertise in designing our new Medicom Expressions consumer face mask," explained John Tourlas, Medicom President, North America. "We believe that providing access to a comfortable, highly breathable mask will help consumers follow the recommendations of health authorities. We are confident that this is the right time for Medicom to launch a direct-to-consumer brand, as many new players are either unknown or are only just learning the art of manufacturing face masks."

Throughout the pandemic, Medicom products have helped keep frontline healthcare workers safe, despite the challenges posed by exponential demand, raw material shortages, and import/export restrictions. As Medicom continues to add manufacturing capacity around the globe and set up new manufacturing facilities in Canada, the US, the UK, France and Singapore, the company plans to expand the new consumer line to include a wide range of colours and patterns made at medical-grade mask factories around the world.

Medicom Expressions consumer face masks are available for order today in blue and black on Amazon.com and soon, through Amazon.ca.
