New York – Sociedad Textil Lonia (STL) has made itself available to the
Government of Spain, offering its factories, staffl and materials to
manufacture gowns for health personnel who combat the advance of the
coronavirus on the front line.
Sociedad Textil Lonia has explained that the lack of some basic
provisions in health centres has led them to become involved in this
initiative. According to company sources quoted by local press, STL has
made its offer a few days ago through the Ministry of Health.
Sociedad Textil Lonia will focus on the manufacture of surgical gowns
In case the Government accepts their offer, the textile company will
make the necessary modifications in its production process to meet new
orders.
The same sources have explained that the pre-manufacturing process
involves knowing patterns, materials and technical specifications specific
to the health field so that it meets the quality standards required by this
type of product.
They also point out that they need to analyse what sanitary garments
could be produced in the STL factory, know the raw materials for clothing
and, from there, reconcile the usual textile production with the
exceptional one derived from the coronavirus crisis. The company
anticipates that they will most likely focus on manufacturing operating
room gowns.
