N95 Mask Production Won't Meet Demand for Another Year, 3M Predicts
American industry is enlisting to fight in the war against coronavirus.
One of the leaders in this fight so far has been industrial giant and N95 mask-maker extraordinaire 3M (NYSE: MMM). As The Wall Street Journal reports today, before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, 3M was manufacturing about 50 million masks per month, which was sufficient to meet the needs of industrial workers and medical professionals all around the world. Some of those masks are still going to industrial workers. However, 90% of mask production is now going to healthcare workers to help combat the ongoing pandemic.
