Dromex steps up to combat PPE shortages

The PPE shortage in South Africa has impacted our country and front line workers. To combat this problem and support our essential workers with Covid-related PPE, we have worked tirelessly to source quality PPE in large volumes.

Dromex believes that everyone is entitled to maximum PPE protection without compromise. As a leader in our category, this is not something we take lightly.

Dromex is South Africa’s leading PPE wholesaler with over 45 000 square metres of warehousing for our large volumes of PPE. Due to the initial virus outbreaks in Asia & Europe we saw an unprecedented depletion in our stock levels. In just one month stock going out reached the equivalent of 5 months of stock.

Once the needs of South Africa & Africa became evident, we worked tirelessly with our international partners to ensure we could supply enough quality PPE to those on the front lines and have secured large volumes of Covid-related PPE.

This includes 150 million 3-Ply Face Masks, 1.5 million Face Shields as well as over 20 000 Infrared Thermometers.
