Since day one Halco was able to stay at the forefront of the market by providing a focus on Reclosable Fasteners and adding value by Converting and Fabrication. Halco’s friendly and experienced account executives and customer service agents consult with customers in many industries including Automotive, Aerospace, Medical, Hygiene, Print & Display and General industrial. Our core purpose is to help manufacturers succeed by creating fastening systems that improve their products. HALCO has long been a critical supplier of fastening solutions to medical product manufacturers. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit North America, HALCO responded quickly to help a wide array of these manufacturers get the materials they needed to make personal protective equipment (PPE) products. These include surgical supplies like: protective face shields face masks gowns surgical drapes respiratory products like ventilator masks and chin straps patient positioning products for operating tables, beds, transport carts and gurneys HALCO’s hook and loop solutions are also important in the manufacture of portable tents and enclosures that help hospitals and clinics effectively utilize their space to manage COVID-19 patients. Many smaller, flexible manufacturers have responded to the COVID-19 crisis by making face shields to protect workers from infectious liquids and splatter. A simple protective face shield can be made from a sheet of flexible plastic and elastic or a reclosable fastening strap to go around the back of the head. HALCO recommends and is supplying 3M™ Grip Lock Strips as a simple, adjustable alternative to elastic for the back of the face shield. Grip Lock is a thin, flexible one-sided fastening strip that attaches to itself. It is readily available from HALCO and comes in a perfectly sized ⅜” width or a 3/4″ width.
