By leveraging Gerber Technology’s fully-connected Industry 4.0 solutions and their decades of expertise, you'll be able to quickly, efficiently and sustainably produce the personal protective equipment (PPE) at the speed and quality you need.
A technology partner you can trust.
Gerber Technology has been working with manufacturers to ensure effective, quality PPE is getting to the market at the right time. Through their PPE Task Force, Gerber has helped thousands of companies produce PPE for medical and consumer use by providing them with the knowledge, resources and technology necessary to make the transition to PPE production as smooth as possible. In addition, Gerber is helping to connect their global network of manufacturers and suppliers through the “PPE Manufacturing Matchmaking Program” to make collaboration simple.
“According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 89 million medical masks and 76 million examination gloves are required for the COVID-19 response each month. The WHO estimates PPE manufacturing needs to increase by 40% in order to keep up with demand.”
