Brother Corp donates sewing machines to make PPE

Brother International Corporation, a supplier of home, office and business products, announced the donation of up to 100 industrial sewing machines to support efforts to manufacture personal protective equipment (PPE) to respond to the growing demand. Garment businesses will receive free Brother industrial sewing machines as a donation.

The first to receive donations, Los Angeles Apparel, Beverly Knits and SanMar, are part of a coalition of iconic American clothing brands and textile companies responding to the White House’s urgent call to ramp up production of face masks in the fight against the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Independent of the coalition, Brother will also donate industrial sewing machines to Brooks Brothers to support their manufacturing efforts.

“Brother remains committed to helping our communities during these difficult times,” Don Cummins, president of Brother International Corporation USA, said in a press release. “Given the severe and growing shortage of personal protective equipment, Brother is proud to donate our products to support these loyal manufacturers in their efforts to make masks for our frontline workers.

Brother’s industrial sewing machines will help increase the ability of these businesses to meet the growing demand for face masks and other PPE to help combat the spread of Covid-19.
