Our Story

Bringing PPE Manufacturing Home

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.

American Manufacturing

Proudly USA Made

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:

  • American-Sourced Materials — Our meltblown polypropylene filter media, nonwoven fabrics, and nose wires are sourced from domestic suppliers, reducing reliance on foreign supply chains.
  • Supply Chain Independence — By keeping our supply chain entirely domestic, we are insulated from international shipping disruptions, tariffs, and geopolitical uncertainties that can halt production.
  • American Jobs — Our Elk Grove Village facility employs skilled American workers, from production line operators to quality control specialists and engineers.
  • Rapid Response Capability — Domestic production means we can quickly scale output in response to public health emergencies without waiting weeks for overseas shipments.
  • Full Traceability — Every component in every MASC product can be traced back to its American source, providing complete transparency and accountability.

Protection You Can Trust

Our respiratory protective equipment is engineered with multi-layer filtration technology and validated by the most rigorous testing standards in the industry.

Multi-Layer Filtration Technology

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:

Inner Layer
Soft, skin-friendly nonwoven material for comfortable extended wear during long shifts.
Filter Layers
Electrostatically charged meltblown polypropylene media that captures at least 95% of airborne particles 0.3 microns and larger, delivering up to 50% greater breathability than minimum NIOSH requirements.
Outer Layer
Durable spunbond polypropylene that resists fluid penetration and provides structural integrity.

Regulatory Approvals

Our products are not simply self-certified. They carry independent, third-party validated approvals from the most recognized regulatory bodies in the United States:

  • NIOSH Approval (TC-84A-9515) — Our N95 particulate respirators are tested and approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
  • FDA 510(k) Clearance (K211984) — Our surgical masks are cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in medical settings.
  • ASTM F2100-19 Level 3 — Our surgical masks meet the highest performance level under the ASTM standard for face mask materials.
  • CFR Title 42 Part 84 — Full compliance with the federal regulation governing respiratory protective devices.
