The Group has just launched its first automated mask production workshop in France, at its Combaude plant near Clermont-Ferrand. The \u20ac3.5 million investment allows for the production of 3 million standard type I or IIR single-use surgical masks per month. Production will ramp up to include 1 million FFP2* masks per month from summer\u00a02021.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The new facility is designed to address the need to protect Michelin&#8217;s 68,000 employees in Europe. Any surplus will be sold in order to contribute to the fight against epidemics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The workshop is equipped with a level 9 room on the classification scale for air cleanliness by particle concentration (ISO Standard 14644-1)**. During the development and certification phases, in order to meet France&#8217;s EN 14683 2019 standard for surgical masks, Michelin called on the assistance of a certified laboratory based in Spain, a French laboratory affiliated with INSERM, the Icare laboratory for biocompatibility and the Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A partnership between Michelin and CERA to step up the process engineering of machines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some of the machines used in the new workshop come from the French company CERA. In response to the government&#8217;s call for the relocation of medical equipment production to France, CERA, based in Villars in the Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes region, asked Michelin for its support, via its subsidiary Imeca.\u00a0\u00a0The aim of this collaborative endeavor is to use Michelin&#8217;s engineering know-how to help rapidly increase production capacity for new machines. Thanks to this partnership and to five other assemblers who have joined the project, CERA&#8217;s annual production has increased from two to 52 machines.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>*\u00a0APAVE certification of the FFP2 mask in progress<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>** The level 9 standard implies not exceeding 70% humidity in the production and storage environment.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2683\" src=\"http:\/\/asiaconnext.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Michelin_G_Stacked_Eng_WhiteBG_0615.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"529\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Michelin, the leading mobility company, is dedicated to enhancing its clients\u2019 mobility, sustainably; designing and distributing the most suitable tires, services and solutions for its clients\u2019 needs; providing digital services, maps and guides to help enrich trips and travels and make them unique experiences; and developing high-technology materials that serve a variety of industries.
