Cobh's Marshall Marine Textiles Produce 10,000 Gowns in COVID-19 PPE Fight

7th May 2020

PPE sewing at Marshall Marine Textiles

Richard Marshall and his Cork Harbour company Marshall Marine Textiles are the Service Arm of North Sails Ireland.

Richard has been at the forefront of PPE supplies to the HSE and is currently working flat out with his small Team in Cobh.

The work is very specialised as you might imagine and he has invested in some specialist machinery to improve the efficiency of the production.

Boxed and ready to go IMG 2934 Boxed and ready to go - Marshall Marine gowns boxed for the front line fight against COVID-19

Right now they are working on an order for over 5000 gowns for the front line and he has already supplied masks, face shields and now they are working on the second large batch order of gowns.

Earlier in the week Richard and the team passed the 10,000 mark in items supplied and here at North Sails Ireland we could not let that go past without celebrating the news.

Thanks, Richard and team for your excellent work and commitment to the cause. You guys are making a difference!

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
