Protective Apparel and the Nonwovens Behind It

Isolation and surgical gowns at every AAMI level, drapes, coveralls, scrubs and underpads, made in the apparel factories of our network in China and Cambodia, from SMS and poly laminate produced inside the same group. This is the category we own.

Two Origins, One Spec

A US program that needs a non China origin gets it without changing the gown. Everyone else gets the full range from China. The quotation shows both when both apply.

Origin 1

Made in China

  • Full apparel range, every AAMI level, drapes, coveralls, scrubs, underpads
  • Nonwoven supply inside the network: SMS, poly laminate, breathable laminates
  • Fastest first run and the widest packaging and sterilization options
  • General China tariff rates for US delivery. No product specific surcharge on apparel
  • Right answer for EU, UK, GCC, LatAm, Australia and most US programs
Origin 2

Made in Cambodia

  • Same spec sheet, same QC plan, same trail, same sign off
  • Outside the China specific US Section 301 surcharges
  • Built for US buyers whose program requires a non China origin
  • Isolation and surgical gowns first, drapes and coveralls on request
  • Quoted side by side with China so the landed cost decides

Choose the Level, Read the Spec

The Materials We Make
