The company of IUTER and Octopus Brand has started the production of masks

COVID-19 is the first real shared experience of our generation. Its effects have impacted the whole world, driving many brands to support the work of doctors and nurses and to reconvert their factories for the manufacture of disinfectants and masks. Not only big players like LMVH, Nike, Apple or Prada are making their contribution, but also many local businesses.

Following the example of Majotech NtMajocchi and Numero00, YOUTH SRL, the company founded in 2002 with IUTER and since 2016 owner of Octopus Brand, has decided to start the production of masks at its plant in Albizzate in the province of Varese.  

The direct commitment of independent brands can be of great help considering how donations from large companies are often destined for the major medical centres although it is precisely the minor realities that are often the front line in dealing with the virus. After a first sampling just finished, model makers, cutters and seamstresses will be able to produce up to 2.000 protective filter masks per day with fabric specially supplied by NtMaiocchi. Each one is totally made in Italy, in polypropylene + PTFE + Polypropylene and reusable up to 5 times after washing.
