An American PPE manufacturer committed to bringing respiratory protection manufacturing back to the United States.
Mid-America Safety Corp (MASC) was established with a clear and urgent mission: to bring respiratory protective equipment manufacturing back to American soil. Based in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, MASC was founded by professionals who recognized a critical vulnerability in our nation's preparedness — the overwhelming dependence on overseas suppliers for essential personal protective equipment.
When supply chains faltered and the country faced shortages of masks and respirators, the consequences were immediate and deeply felt by healthcare workers, first responders, and everyday Americans. MASC was built to ensure that never happens again.
Today, our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility produces NIOSH-approved N95 respirators, FDA 510(k) cleared surgical masks, and general-use protective face masks — all made right here in the heartland of America with domestically sourced materials and American labor.
Every decision we make is guided by three principles: American manufacturing, uncompromising protection, and rigorous quality control.
100% domestic manufacturing. We strengthen the national supply chain and support American jobs in every product we make.
Multi-layer filtration technology backed by NIOSH approval and FDA clearance. Our products meet and exceed the most rigorous safety standards in the industry.
ISO 13485 compliant quality management, in-house testing laboratory, and automated production lines ensure consistent, reliable protective equipment.
At MASC, American manufacturing is not just a label — it is the foundation of everything we do. Our entire production process, from raw material sourcing to final packaging, takes place within the United States. This commitment provides tangible benefits:
Our respiratory protective equipment is engineered with multi-layer filtration technology and validated by the most rigorous testing standards in the industry.
MASC respirators and masks use advanced multi-layer construction, with each layer serving a specific protective purpose. Our N95 respirators feature a 4-layer design:
Our products are not simply self-certified. They carry independent, third-party validated approvals from the most recognized regulatory bodies in the United States:
From raw materials to finished products, every step of our manufacturing process is governed by rigorous quality controls.
Mid-America Safety Corp operates a quality management system that is compliant with ISO 13485 requirements for medical device manufacturing.
Our on-site testing laboratory conducts particle filtration efficiency, breathing resistance, and fit testing on every production batch. We do not ship a single unit that has not been verified in-house.
State-of-the-art automated production lines minimize human error and maximize consistency. Our equipment is calibrated daily and maintained on a strict preventive schedule.
