Talon International, a supplier of apparel fasteners and interlining products, has retooled its manufacturing facilities in the US and around the world to supply Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for medical and non-medical personnel. Talon is supplying 3-ply face masks and medical-grade face shields, as well as cloth masks, gloves and isolation gowns. 
 
A portion of the proceeds from the sales of PPE will be donated to the Feeding America organisation, company reported.
 
"For over 125 years, Talon has supplied the fashion industry with trims, zippers and other related products," Larry Dyne, CEO of Talon, said in a press release. "Today, the world has very different needs. I'm proud of the team at Talon for taking on the challenge of redirecting all their efforts to supplying our country and local communities with safety equipment that will save lives. This team is passionate about being able to help the whole world in this effort. Our entire supply chain is mobilised and ready to meet this global challenge. Our 125 years of expertise in managing supply chains and global logistics will aid this effort."
 
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."
