DENNIS Fabrics Find New Purpose

The unfolding COVID-19 crisis put our DENNIS Portland manufacturing team on a new mission: temporarily shifting from exclusively making our tried and true specialty uniform items to making reusable, washable protective barrier masks for local healthcare workers.

We enlisted the technical guidance of local doctors and nurses to develop a triple-ply mask using existing DENNIS fabrics. The masks meet the CDC guidelines for emergency use and as a reusable "cough" cover.

The protective face coverings were sewn in our Portland factory while adhering to the OR-OSHA workplace social distancing specifications.

DENNIS has manufactured and donated over 10,000 reusable masks to front-line healthcare workers, and to as many employees and schools as possible.
