El Diario de C\u00e1diz<\/a>,<\/u> in its 23 April edition, has echoed our charitable initiative against the pandemic. It highlights that the manufacture of anti-spray protection masks is being carried out with the support of our suppliers and the collaboration of numerous volunteers and Torrent Group staff.<\/p>\n

The news item from Diario de C\u00e1diz is below:<\/p>\n

“The idea that the Coronavirus crisis<\/strong> had surprised the country without an industrial infrastructure able to manufacture medical and protective material with which to respond to the pandemic has taken root in a large section of society. The image of hundreds of citizens making masks in their houses<\/strong>, hand crafting methacrylate screens or sewing surgical gowns<\/strong> for professional use characterised above all the first weeks of the fight against the pandemic<\/strong>, when protective equipment and supplies were scarce and hardly arriving from abroad.<\/p>\n

However, many industries<\/strong> have demonstrated that with some adjustments in their machinery<\/strong> and collaborative work with other firms, volunteers and institutions, they can re-align their activity to produce protective and sanitary material that is sorely needed in the fight against Coronavirus. Such is the case of Torrent\u2019s non-refillable stoppers factory<\/strong>. A family company<\/strong> based in\u00a0El Puerto de Santa Mar\u00eda<\/strong>,\u00a0with over a century of history behind it and factories in Kenya and India<\/strong>, they decided from the start of the crisis to contribute to the limiting of the collective damage being caused by Covid 19.<\/p>\n

The factory has undergone a decrease in its activity<\/strong> during the weeks of the state of alert<\/strong> but has not stopped its machines, something for which it is grateful, and neither has it stopped trying to do its bit to help<\/strong> out in this difficult situation. Almost from the start, its managers knew what has happening in Italy, where some of its leading customers are based, so they were some of the first to implement safety measures and precautions<\/strong> in the factory in El Puerto de Santa Mar\u00eda.\u00a0\u201cWe saw it coming and took measures<\/strong> even before the declaration of the state of alert\u201d, underlines Chief Executive, David Torrent, who nevertheless acknowledges that Covid 19 in this area of Andalusia \u201chas treated us better than in other parts of Spain\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As soon as they had the clear idea of collaborating in the fight against the pandemic, they sought the best way to do so, and put the suggestion to the Innovation Department<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cWe thought that if we can make stoppers, then why not make masks\u201d<\/strong>.\u00a0In no time at all, the idea that emerged from the company board and workers was proposed to the company owners, \u201cand we decided to move forward\u201d<\/strong>, a move that has been supported by a good number of volunteers and different firms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
