PPE manufacturer

Small business owners are innovating strategies as they navigate the unforeseen financial and operational challenges brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.

For Cebu-based Smartieshirt Apparel, the COVID-19 crisis is a game changer.

Smartieshirt Apparel began producing cloth face masks as early as February and later, as the virus spread, expanded to making protective suits.  

The company produces 15,000 cloth facemasks a day and 3,000 PPE suits a week.
