With the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an exponential demand for Personal Protective Equipment, which led the company to redirect its strategic focus and, consequently, its production. Thus, it built a new unit exclusively dedicated to manufacturing Hospital and Clinical Consumables, complying with all the requirements and safety standards of these products.
