Let’s Get Started
The VESTEX® Application Partner Certification Process
The VESTEX® Team provides specialized expertise so you can produce VESTEX® effectiveness and safety that has been verified and cleared by the FDA, endorsed by the American Hospital Association, selected as a Best Infection Control Product by Newsweek and recommended by the National Science Foundation.
4-Step Partner Process
VESTEX® Success Is Built In
The certification process begins by developing a comprehensive understanding of your facilities equipment, current capabilities, target markets you wish to reach, and fabrics you wish to produce. Based on these learnings, the VESTEX® Team develops a proposed VESTEX® application process that will enable you to efficiently apply VESTEX® at the yields, speeds, and quality needed.
1 Site Assessment
After an initial phone call to review equipment, capabilities, and expectations, the VESTEX® Team will plan a visit to your site where we’ll spend a day reviewing key capabilities and will discuss goals and plan of action for adding VESTEX® protection to your business plan. This includes:
Equipment and Capabilities
