PPE specialist Maitri Health Technologies $MTEC Sets Eyes Overseas, with Prestigious UK Trade Invite, New Hires and Tech Innovation

Maitri Health Technologies is a global platform for healthcare supply security whose main focus provides a reliable source of certified PPE (personal protective equipment) and testing solutions through an onshore manufacturing model. This model has led to the creation of innovative and industry leading products including 3D certified surgical masks and patent-pending face shields, all integrated with technology to help track, trace and enable safer workplaces and communities. It all takes place against a backdrop of huge potential: the global personal protective equipment market size is expected to reach USD 123.38 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 9.6%.
