During the past three weeks, Trioplast has worked intensively to change its machinery to be able to produce protective clothing on a large scale. The Group now has the capacity to produce 20,000 long-sleeved protective robes and approximately 100,000 aprons without sleeves per day.
- There is a great need from both regions and municipalities, says the company's CEO Andreas Malmberg.
He says that deliveries of protective clothing to Stockholm are prioritized, after which the company will also produce to the Halland and Värmland regions.
Everything happens in SwedenTrioplast also manufactured protective material for the care before the corona pandemic, but then the plastic films were sent to Germany to sew up finished protective garments. Now all production is carried out at home at the facilities in Landskrona, Bottnaryd and Smålanstenar.
- What was the challenge was to get to mechanical welding, it is the only thing that works if we are to be able to produce such large quantities that it suffices for the healthcare needs, says Andreas Malmberg.
