The long-term vision of FIO, Francis Innovation Operations, is to become the leading United States PPE manufacturer and supplier. With an unwavering commitment towards protecting America, they are focused on decreasing foreign supplier reliance for critical Personal Protection Equipment. Their parent company, Torqlite, offers top-notch manufacturing built on a reputation for consistent improvement and innovation. They have achieved multiple design patents over the past five decades, were a recipient of the Woelfel Best Mechanical Engineering award, and have developed the world’s first fully automated hydraulic torquing system. These experts make up much of the FIO management team along with other experienced experts in US manufacturing sales to the government and healthcare industries, as well as the private business sector. The FIO plant will be centrally located in Texas or Louisiana for easy, cost-effective distribution. Their state-of-the-art, almost fully automated manufacturing facility will be designed to be easily scalable to address changing PPE demand. Safety is more important than ever, and FIO is committed to producing quality, affordable PPE for Americans as we pave way for a brighter future. Nitrile gloves are just the beginning.
