The companies engaged in this production are Fripol from the municipality of Ljubescica, Plastik Santek from the town of Novi Marof and Gumiimpex from the city of Varazdin.
These visors can be disinfected and reused.
The mayor of Ljubescica, Nenad Horvatic, said during the presentation of the donation, after the idea had appeared about this production, only seven days passed before the start of the production.
To date, the three factories have made 3,500 visors. Apart from the donation to the hospital, also local firefighters and police forces in Varazdin will be provided with the face shields made by the three factories. Some of their visors will be shipped to Vukovar, Vinkovici and Osijek, Horvatic said.
He explained that the manufacturing capacity of the three companies is 1,000 visors a day.
Horvatic explained the main difference between the visors manufactured in the factories and those made by 3D printing method lay in the fact that the factory-made face masks could be used more times, while 3D printed face shields are single-use visors.
The hospital director Nenad Kudelic thanked for the donation.
He underscored that although there were no newly infected cases in Varazdin County for the last five days, there was no reason for local residents to relax and called on them to stay home.
