MI Face Shields reusable face shields

MI Face Shields is a Michigan-based company that produces reusable face shields. The company originally formed to meet the local demand for personal protective equipment (PPE). 

One of the co-owner's family members was working with little to no PPE in the intensive care unit of a major hospital. He felt obligated to help her and others who are in similar situations with limited resources during COVID-19.

The company partnered with PolyFlex, a local plastics company to design and manufacture face shields in mass quantities. PolyFlex graciously worked with MI Face Shields, donating time and materials to machine the tool and die necessary for production. They are currently producing 30,000 to 40,000 shields per week with the ability to triple that, if the need arises.

These reusable face shields are unique because they come apart easily for proper cleaning; plus the shields do not have foam or elastic, which can be challenging to disinfect. The shields also have integrated “Ear Savers,” mounting points for mask loops that help to prevent soreness around the ears.

In addition to responding to high demands for PPE, MI Face Shields donated a portion of all sales to COVID-relief efforts, and they continue to do so today.

Now, MI Face Shields’ focus is supplying schools with the protective equipment that is needed in order for kids to return for the 2021 school year. To achieve this, MI Face Shields is providing schools with discounted rates. They are even working with the manufacturer to expand offerings for kids, including different colors, shield sizes, and shield thicknesses.
