With the help of local textile machinists Luna Textiles, Craggs Energy already produced a water removal device called a TankSponge and we decided to engage this resource to start making the face covers.

All of the face covers we have produced are free of charge and we are looking to supply two per customer with an instructional leaflet on how best to use.”

Due to the overwhelming positive response, Craggs Energy have begun the production of an additional 1,000 which will be distributed by their fuel delivery drivers to their customer base.
