COVID19: Manufacturing of visors by members of Plastiwin

Under the leadership of Marc Deltenre (Director of Delplex SA and of the B4C business club), a protective visor was developed by the Delplex company (which usually produces food display systems for store counters)

Two other companies in the Charleroi region, Deltenre & Co (Paul Willocx) and DHK (Philippe Dubois) joined the initiative, thus allowing the rapid industrialization of this protection intended for the medical profession and other people exposed to the virus' spread. Production began on Thursday, March 26 at Delplex with the cutting and thermoforming of PETG visors. At the same time, the cutting of the polypropylene support tabs is done at Deltenre & Co. All this was possible in a few days thanks to the responsiveness of DHK which set up the supply of the necessary supplies in record time.

The 3 initiators decided to offer 1,000 masks to hospitals in Charleroi.

This physical protection is complementary to the masks, we did not have time to have the product certified from a medical point of view, but emergency physicians in the Charleroi region validated the mask during development.
