Bosch India has designed its own line of protective face masks to combat against the coronavirus. The company inaugurated its fully automated in-house production line at Naganathapura, Bengaluru and is slated to manufacture nearly 100,000 masks a day to protect its associates and contribute to the protection of the community at large in India. It is helping to relieve the burden on the market.

Globally Bosch will produce over 500,000 protective face masks per day across five fully automated production lines at four locations, including the Naganathapura plant in India. The masks are three-layered which prevent the spread of pathogens from the wearer’s nose and throat with bacterial filtration efficiency greater than 95%.  

These mask production lines have been designed by the company’s special-purpose machinery unit and will be available for usage to the workforce at Bosch in India as well. The company also set-up its mask manufacturing lines at Germany, Mexico, and India to cater to associate protection and regional requirements, effectively extending its covid-19 protection initiative to the world. This will significantly boost the Indian government’s ‘Make in India’ campaign.

“At Bosch, we have always kept safety and security of our associates at the forefront across all our operations. This initiative is one of our key steps towards honoring our ₹50 crore commitment to combat COVID-19 pandemic using our innovative technologies and high competence in manufacturing,” quoted Soumitra Bhattacharya, Managing Director and President, Bosch Group India.
