Fallon Company/Shawmut Melt-blown N95 Mask Production Plant

At the beginning of the pandemic, Linea 5 was contacted by local real estate developer The Fallon Company to assist in finding a suitable property and designing a factory space for an N95 Face Mask production plant built around a melt-blown fabric production machine. This new production plant is to aid the country’s need for domestic-made PPE equipment. While the project was under design the Fallon Company partnered with Shawmut Corporation a 100-year-old family-owned company to convert areas of their West Bridgewater Headquarters into an N95 mask production plant. Linea 5 in partnership with Fitzemeyer & Tocci, & Goldstein-Milano provided design and construction administrative services to install the melt-blown machine into Shawmut’s building. Linea 5, Inc. is proud to be a part of such an important project to the country during this pandemic. This fast-paced project was made possible by the amazing partnership with Shawmut Corporation, The Fallon Company, F&T, Goldstein-Milano, and AZ Corp. Shawmut Corporation is now producing NIOSH-approved N95 masks and has the goal to produce up to 10 million masks per month by year-end to meet the continued demand for domestically produced PPE.
