On May 6, 2020, Vitafoam Products Limited joined the national campaign to limit Covid-19 infections by adding the manufacture of face masks and hand sanitizers.

The company has been approved as a maker of hand sanitizers, and its efforts are aimed at meeting the heavy demand in the country.

Sharad Barot, the Chief Operations Officer of Vitafoam, emphasized the importance of protecting employees by ensuring distancing and good hygiene at all work stations in the factory and warehouse.

‘As the virus is spread by close contact, we are prioritizing the protection of our employees by ensuring distancing and good hygiene at all our work stations in the factory and warehouse,’ Barot said.

When employees report for work, they are given hand sanitizers and face masks. Additionally, the company has reduced the number of workers on duty at any time by introducing shifts to give more space.
