More than 300 manufacturers, including major global companies, rely on Gerber’s advanced software, hardware solutions and expertise to produce masks and other PPE. Over the last few months, Gerber has helped several customers transition into producing protective masks and other much needed medical supplies including Taglio Marchesini (Italy) and Shanghai Challenge Textile Co., Ltd.
“In what’s an unprecedented global emergency, all of us in the manufacturing industry need to work together to protect those fighting COVID-19 on the front lines,” said Mohit Uberoi, CEO of Gerber Technology. “With over 50 years of expertise, we are doing our part and helping companies quickly transition into manufacturing PPE just as we did for our customers in China a few weeks ago and helped apparel companies successfully transition to manufacturing masks and other personal protective equipment.”
The Gerber PPE Resource Team is made up of dedicated experts who can offer advice, share best practices, support and technology to produce certain types of masks as well as protective apparel and accessories including raw material procurement and on-site support.
The Gerber PPE Resource Team is available to support PPE manufacturing including:
Implementing pre-defined patterns and markers or defining fabric/sewing requirements.
Helping with the setup of cutter parameters specific to the selected fabrics.
Providing training, software, equipment and service technicians to ramp up production.
Changing over current production lines to the production of PPE.
Connecting supply and demand for PPE via our global ecosystem of customers and partners.
