TopFilter expertise in the heart of the Vosges

Our 2,500 m² factory was originally designed to produce TopFilter vacuum cleaner bags. ISO 9001 certified since 2011, we have worked for years to offer quality products that are consistent and compliant, as part of a continuous improvement approach.

Three teams were recruited and specially trained to produce the FFP2 masks: a project we wanted to benefit local employment.

A purpose-built production line

From the very start of the pandemic, we drew on our knowledge of filter materials to launch mask production in the Vosges. A purpose-built production unit was developed for this purpose.

We also invested in a packaging machine that places each mask in individual packaging while keeping handling by operators to a minimum. After several months of research and development, our production capacity has reached 2,500,000 masks per month.

Ongoing quality control

An automatic test station allows us to carry out quick and frequent checks throughout manufacturing.

Our masks made in Bussang comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and the EN 149:2001 + A1:2009 standard. The rigour of our own checks and those of the certification bodies guarantees the filtration efficiency of our FFP2 masks. See our standards and certifications.

Choosing Made in France

Choosing FFP2 masks made in France means:

  • making a commitment to the environment and employment;
  • supporting human-scale industries and fighting offshoring;
  • preserving the expertise of our regions;
  • being assured of high-quality products.

It also means helping to ensure that a shortage like the one in March 2020 never happens again.
