Company further reported that the Talon face shields are manufactured in Los Angeles, which help the N95 masks last longer by protecting them from particulate matter. Also the company will ramp up the manufacturing of these shields very quickly to keep up with the demand required. Talon has the ability to scale up on short notice. Talon's "stretch technologies" facility was retooled in just a few days to begin making these face shields. Talon is also manufacturing and importing hand sanitiser, alcohol wipes, gloves, and medical gowns for use by medical and non-medical personnel.

"My optometry business hasn't stopped," Dr Matthew Aplert, based in Los Angeles, CA, said. "People still need eyewear and eye care, particularly our front-line heroes, such as doctors and nurses. Talon was able to deliver masks to me when no one else could. I have enough to keep my staff and my patients protected. Talon made it possible for me to continue to serve my patients safely."
