Specialty Fabrics Review April 2021 - 27

I

n January 2020, Archana
Sharma, CEO of AKAS
Tex LLC, a Bensalem,

Pa., textile manufacturer/
creator and designer of highperformance fabrics, says
her company began receiving
emails from Singapore,
Australia, Japan and other
eastern hemisphere countries
inquiring about face masks
and antimicrobial fabrics.
" We saw the writing on the
wall and immediately replanned
production to make all our fabrics
antimicrobial, " she says. " And we
started the quest to find the best
fabrics for reusable face masks. "
Pre-pandemic, AKAS Tex
hadn't made personal protective
equipment (PPE), but by February
2020, the company had pivoted
to manufacturing three-layer face
masks as well as level 3 and level 4
gowns, and to making the fabrics
necessary for these items. When
its production capabilities couldn't
keep up with the huge demand, the
company purchased five knitting
machines to produce the three
proprietary fabrics comprising
the face masks, onboarding them
between August and December.
