Kitsbow Cycling Apparel announced it is discontinuing PPE production on February 28 to focus on manufacturing apparel.
At the start of the pandemic, in March 2020, Kitsbow pivoted its operations to manufacture face masks initially for medical professionals and first responders, then the general public.
“With the wide availability of masks from literally hundreds of different manufacturers, we’re returning to our core business: incredible premium apparel made right here in America,” explained David Billstrom, CEO, Kitsbow.
Kitsbow said it will accept PPE orders until February 28 but will offer its filters indefinitely.
“From the bottom of our hearts, we thank our customers for choosing face masks sewn right here in the U.S.A. It’s been the honor of a lifetime,” Billstrom continued.
