Lenexa company expanding to make more N95 masks
February 15, 2021
A Lenexa, Kansas company that makes personal protective equipment is undergoing a major expansion.
Dentec expects to make 20 times the number of masks it is producing now.
"I receive the emails from doctors and nurses and phone calls, parents of doctors and nurses saying, 'I can't get any N95 respirators,'" said Claudio Dente, president of Dentec.
The government funding has also allowed the company to make new hires.
