Boxmark Leather, the Kidričevo-based maker of car upholstery, plans to launch production of protective face masks for Slovenia next week. CEO Marjan Trobiš told the STA on Martch 17, that the launch of production depended mainly on the supply of material, the machines are ready.
"At the moment, the demand is the highest for masks, since there are thousands of people who need to wear them for protection and self-protection at work. Every country is protecting its interests and does not allow exports of these products, so we decided to help our country," Trobiš said.
Boxmark will produce the masks for the state only, not for the market, he added. The company plans to use all the material that will be delivered but Trobiš could not tell how many masks that meant. In the coming days, a large part of other production lines, for textile, and automotive and aviation industries, will grind to a halt, so all resources will be used to make protective gear for the state.
