Disposable face masks are one of the most effective weapons in combating Covid-19. As a result, the world experienced a shortage of this product in 2020, which is manufactured using ultrasonic welding. Mask manufacturers had to expand production and many companies in nearby industries have joined in a global effort to meet the demand surge. ATCP collaborated with this effort by providing training and test instruments for masks manufacturers and ultrasonic welding equipment companies.
