- We have sourced 600,000 N95 masks - Ever since Victor and I got back from almost being stuck in Europe, we went into immediate self-quarantine mode in mid March. We were gone for over 2 weeks traveling to Nice, Monaco, Barcelona and finally London for business meetings.
When we landed in Seattle, WA, USA it was a scene out of a zombie movie with officials in full hazmat gear. Seconds off the plane we knew things have changed. We hopped on the light rail, he got off at the Othello stop and I got off on the University St. stop. As business owners, we were shocked at what we saw but even more saddened by the boarded up windows and desolate streets. Who knew? Who could have foreseen such an immediate halt to life?
Some of our closest friends and family members are business owners. We both have friends who are on the front lines in the medical field, from nurses to doctors. This hit us particularly hard and because of this we couldn't sit back in quarantine and watch passively as this virus destroys our way of life and those in it. Having friends and family directly impacted, and for our fearless leaders in the medical field who are putting their health at risk to fight Covid-19, we took it personal.
So we got to work!
We are both frequent global travelers and have developed relationships all over the world. We banded our companies together and were able to zero in on our international network to source critical N95 masks.
Here's what you need to know: 1. We were able to vet and source 600,000 FDA/CE/ISO/NIOSH certified N95 masks.
2. We can have 60,000-80,000 masks produced per week.
3. We can have the first shipment and thereafter within 10 days.
4. The need is great and prices are escalating. Thankfully, because of our relationships we were able to hold the price firm for just a few days.
5. For more information and inquiries, please contact us at contact@gardnerglobal.com or at +1-206-730-1789. Because of the severity of the situation, serious inquiries only.

We want to ensure that our medical professionals on the front lines, small business owners and their staff, and those lower income communities of color disproportionately impacted have the ability to have access to keeping themselves and others safe.
Just doing our part. We are in this together. #wegothis #staytheFhome #BIY |
