Kolmi Hopen the French mask manufacturer
Kolmi Hopen is part of the
Medicom group which has several sites around the world in the USA, Canada, China, Russia and the Netherlands.
The European headquarters are located in Angers, France, where protective masks such as
FFP2, FFP1, FFP3 disposable masks and a whole range of surgical masks for the hospital and medical sector are produced and designed.
Kolmi Hopen also manufactures a full line of
overshoes and personal protective equipment products on this site.
The Angers site is a
manufacturing site that covers 14,000 m2 with latest generation machines and rigorous safety and hygiene standards allowing Kolmi Hopen to be referenced by the French Government within the framework of the supply of protective mask.
The Kolmi Hopen plant in Angers thus has a
1000m2 "clean room" classified ISO 8 in order to meet the quality requirements of this family of products.

The range of Kolmi masks is structured around a range of medical masks:
- Type IIR medical masks which protect the patient and nursing staff against the risks of contamination but also against the splashes of potentially contagious biological fluids
- Type II medical masks that protect the patient and nursing staff against the risk of contamination
- FFP1 / FFP2 / FFP3 respiratory masks against external risks
