Fameccanica.Data S.p.A, a joint venture between Angelini Holding and Procter & Gamble, recently launched the Fameccanica Protective Mask machine (FPM).

The machine was the protagonist of an important agreement between Fameccanica and the Italian Government for the fight against the propagation of Coronavirus (COVID-19), signed on May 2.The agreement provides for the supply of 25 high-speed production lines for surgical masks.

"This project is based on an extraordinary industrial, technological and human commitment and was born in a logic of service to the country in a moment of extreme difficulty. We were quick to design an innovative technology which combines speed standards with the product's ability to overcome the limits of finding raw materials," comments Alessandro Bulfon, general manager of Fameccanica. "This puts us in a position today to face the country's reopening phase and tomorrow to deal any other emergency health situation."

The FPM machine places Italian technology and initiative at the service of the emergency both for Italy and for other countries in the world. The high speed and ability to process a wide range of materials, as a matter of fact, can respond widely to the internal demand for surgical protective devices, making the national production chain independent.
