Mask Covid-19 : ASP is mobilised

Jun 4, 2020 | not classified, Press release

When on the 17^th of March, Pole Textile Alsace invited their members to participate in the production of masks, we immediately replied with a big “yes”.

Mask production : Challenge taken up !

A real cooperation has been set up with the Pôle Textile Alsace, to support the community. The Pôle proposed the model of the mask that had just been approved to reach the Afnor standards and brought together the raw materials. For our part, we have implemented the procedures published by the Pole Textile Alsace in order to respect the barrier gestures during the reception of the fabric, but also during assembly and packaging the production till the shipment. We had to be ready as soon as possible in order to protect our employees and to guarantee the best sanitary quality for the produced masks.
The ASP team showed great responsiveness when the company had to adapt itself to the lockdown by making staff working from home or on part-time. But the challenge is taken up! Since the first batch n ° 001, started on March 24, we have produced more than 27,000 masks! And each week, the production continues for the Pole Textile Alsace with 4,000 new masks.

Masks washable dozens of times, and recyclable!

It is our practice to use high quality fabrics and to respond to a client’s specific problems. We apply the same rule of conduct with these protective face masks: washable at more than 60 °, they are reusable several dozen times and fully recyclable at the end of their life! For non-sanitary use (category 2 masks), they are intended to protect professionals who are not in contact with the general public (work colleagues for example). They filter 84.9% of 3 micron particles and can be worn for 4 hours.

If you wish to order these masks of category 2 for your personnel, you will find the procedure to follow on the website of Pôle Textile Alsace.

we are back on track

May 19, 2020 | Press release

Dear Valued Customer,

On the 19th of March, we have informed you by email about the suspension of our activity.

Since the COVID-19 crisis hit our region (and all the world), travel restrictions have been set up by the government and some companies have decided to stop their business.

Therefore, those events couldn’t allow us to continue the production or the shipments and penalised the quality of our services.

So far, the employees who could work from home were doing it when it was possible.
We have analysed our operation and reorganised our business by applying, in all our departments, the health recommendations related to COVID-19. It includes social distancing, hygiene, cleanliness and mask wearing. Our goal is to guarantee the safety conditions of our staff and to provide quality services.

Today, we believe that the strict sanitary procedures implemented in our company, as well as the commitment of our subcontractors, allow us to support you in restarting the activity step by step.

Glad to be back at work and to reactivate our activity we have restarted shipping orders from Wednesday April 27 for at least 15 days (unless there is no new condition limitation). You will also have access to commercial support via the sales administration (by phone: 03 83 22 88 55 or mail: assistant@asp-protection.com), present on site in the mornings from 8:00 to 12:00 or via your usual sales representative (by mail or phone).

We know that the return to “normal” is not for now, but long journeys always start with a first step and we have decided to make this first step.
We count on your understanding and your loyalty in order to make this return of activity as a common and shared success.

Very warmly.

Management and sales team.

Continue to take care of yourself and your family, and apply social distancing.
