Verus International acquires controlling interest in N95 mask and biohazard suit manufacturer

Verus International Inc. has acquired a controlling 51 percent interest in ZC Top Apparel Manufacturing Inc., a Philippines-based maker of reusable N95 fabric masks and biohazard suits.

ZC Top produces a premium mask that is N95 compliant and constructed of a washable shell and a multi-layer filter than can provide protection for three days before replacement. The multi-layer filter consists of BFE99, PFE99 melt-blown and spun-bond polypropylene, which are the same materials used in medical surgical and N95 disposable masks. The masks also feature an activated carbon filter that functions like a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, giving an additional layer of protection compared to a regular N95 mask.

The ZC Top masks also incorporate exhalation valve technology to facilitate smoother breathing, along with cotton construction to create a high-quality reusable mask that is more comfortable and cost effective than many other anti-viral mask designs.

The new ZC Top subsidiary currently has request for quotes from the U.S. government and other governments, agencies and sellers on multiple continents. The Philippines-based facility has a peak production capacity of ten million masks per month.
