Ford delivering 90 face masks per minute
Ford has installed two new purpose-built machines capable of producing between 60 and 90 face masks per minute at its Dunton Campus.
Three teams of 10 will work around the clock to produce the masks.
Chris White, manager, Dunton Technical Centre, Ford of Europe, said: “To get these machines up and running in such a short time, the response from everyone involved has been just amazing.
“The machines were sourced from China, and a Ford China team worked non-stop to prepare the delivery and ensured we could easily learn how to install and use them. Now, just a few weeks after the project was kicked off, we’ve already got our staff covered.”
Meanwhile, Ford is producing personal protective equipment at other sites in Germany, Spain and Romania.
