When news of the pandemic emerged, we decided to dedicate all of our resources and nonwoven expertise to manufacture face masks in order to help provide our country with protection against the virus.
By mid-April of 2020, we received our lab test results, became EUA certified through the FDA, and had multiple machines producing face masks.
As of today, we are proud to say we have manufactured and delivered over 100 million face masks throughout the United States.
Our sister company, Uniquetex LLC, manufactures the nonwoven material we use for our face masks in the same facility. This advantage allows us to know exactly what components are used in the material and ensures consistency in the supply chain.
Also, the nonwoven material is transferred from their warehouse to our warehouse, which reduces the risk of possible contamination to the material, eliminates potential delayed deliveries, and reduces the risk of any other problems that could occur from transporting the material.
EcoGuard face masks are constructed with both your protection and comfort in mind. The high-quality material we use is very breathable and soft, which helps with any breathing difficulties and greatly reduces potential skin irritation.
EcoGuard face masks are also made with extra soft ear loops which provide increased comfortability and an adjustable nose bar to keep your mask in place for as long as you need to wear it.
FAQ
Were you removed from the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization?
Yes, we were, but for a great reason: We got our 510(k) certification! It was a lot of work, as it should be, and we're very proud to be one of such a select group of manufacturers with this certification.

How should I wear my mask?
1. Use clean hands to open the mask box. Take one mask out to examine and make sure it is free of imperfections.
2. Wear the mask with the nose bar facing up and colored material facing out. Be sure to cover your mouth, nose and chin.
3. Slightly press the nose bar on each side of your nose to make a fit to your face.
4. Gently pull up and down on the mask at the same time to make minor adjustments to the fit.
What is the difference between our General Use and Surgical masks?
Our general use masks are tested and meet ASTM standards to keep you safe in a public setting. Our surgical masks, though visually identical to the general use masks, are approved through the FDA for use in hospitals and medical facilities. No matter which face mask you choose, they all contain a statically charged central protective layer and are constructed of materials only made in the United States.
Can I purchase a smaller quantity of masks?
We want to serve the public as well as our larger business clients. However, since we are a manufacturer, we are supplying large quantities to multiple retailers such as Amazon, who do offer the smaller quantities.
Can I purchase a larger quantity or custom order of masks?
Absolutely. The core of our business revolves around manufacturing large quantities of face masks with short lead times and full communication throughout the production process. Please give our Sales/Customer Service department a call at (704) 322-3709 for more info.
Are all EcoGuard masks made in the United States?
Yes, all of our face masks are produced in Grover, North Carolina and all of the components are manufactured in the USA.
Can you ship outside the US?
Not for website orders. We created our web store to provide high quality PPE for the American public. However, we are definitely happy to ship large quantities of high quality American made PPE to our business partners around the world.
