COVID-19: Helping fight the spread of
the virus worldwide
Globus Group has responded to the pandemic, stepping up with speed and
agility to deliver market leading personal protection across all sectors.
Proud to be at the forefront
The global shock of Covid-19 has caused changes in behaviour on an unprecedented scale across the world. It has highlighted as never before the importance of safety of the general public, the most vulnerable and people at work - particularly those on the healthcare frontline. Many restrictions and measures have been implemented to help save the lives of millions internationally, and we are proud to be at the forefront of ensuring protection and peace of mind.
25 YEARS
Our 25-year heritage of providing PPE across industry and healthcare has equipped us with the expertise to rapidly provide top-performing, high-quality equipment throughout the hugely demanding challenges of the pandemic.
Safety First
Since January 2020 we have put a programme of safety protocols in place, to keep our people protected across all our facilities. These measures are under constant review and we are hugely grateful to everyone across the Globus family for their tireless efforts and dedication to keeping PPE supplies flowing.
Increased Production
We have also substantially increased production, creating hundreds of new positions, providing skilled, durable jobs during the economic crisis as well as accelerating delivery to the frontline. We are committed to 75% UK manufacturing of respiratory products as we respond to the urgent demand for PPE.
Over 1 BILLION medical masks
Our partnerships with the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS Scotland are delivering on a promise to manufacture more than a billion medical masks from our UK factories in Warrington, Dumfries and Annan.
Driving forward & making a
difference
We pride ourselves on creating products that really make a difference to our customers, so we pay special attention to fit testing and wearability, ensuring we deliver protection users can depend on.

Our NHS Hub
Our NHS Hub is designed to support frontline workers using our UK-made Alpha Solway HX3 FFP3 mask. This Hub provides extensive information on the medical grade respirator complete with a simple video demonstration on how to fit your mask correctly.
The Hub was launched to provide frontline workers and NHS Trusts with expertise in facilitating optimum fit test pass rates and give advice on fitting techniques. With every individual requiring a bespoke fit for their face, we found that the provision of support materials and handy tips results in successful average pass rates.
