CAMBRIDGE, Canada—PRIMED Medical Products will locate a new medical mask manufacturing facility in Cambridge, Ontario. The factory will have sufficient capacity to produce enough surgical masks to meet the needs of all Canadian acute care facilities. It will also be able to surge production significantly during pandemic or emergency events. PRIMED views this as an important contribution to solidify Canada’s supply chain for medical personal protective equipment (PPE).
“We are thrilled to be bringing mask manufacturing to our home country with this state-of-the-art plant in Cambridge,” says David Welsh, CEO of PRIMED. “After a comprehensive nationwide search, Ontario proved to be the ideal location, providing us with great access to the talent we need to set-up and run this facility.”
