`3M Stories
`
`Today 3M and the Trump Administration are announcing a plan to import 166.5 million respirators over the next
`three months to support healthcare workers in the United States. 3M and the Administration worked together to
`ensure that this plan does not create further humanitarian implications for countries currently fighting the COVID-
`19 outbreak, and committed to further collaborate to fight price gouging and counterfeiting.
`
`“I want to thank President Trump and the Administration for their leadership and collaboration,” said 3M chairman
`and CEO Mike Roman. “We share the same goals of providing much-needed respirators to Americans across our
`country and combating criminals who seek to take advantage of the current crisis. These imports will supplement
`the 35 million N95 respirators we currently produce per month in the United States.”
`
`“Given the reality that demand for respirators outpaces supply, we are working around the clock to further expand
`our capacity, while prioritizing and redirecting our supplies to serve the most critical areas,” Roman continued.
`“We’ll continue to do all we can to protect our heroic healthcare workers and first responders, and I want to thank
`our 96,000 3Mers for your tireless efforts — including those in our plants and distribution centers around the world.”
`
`3M will import 166.5 million respirators over the next three months primarily from its manufacturing facility in China,
`starting in April. The Administration is committed to working to address and remove export and regulatory
`restrictions to enable this plan. The plan will also enable 3M to continue sending U.S. produced respirators to
`Canada and Latin America, where 3M is the primary source of supply.
`
`As a global company, 3M has manufacturing operations around the world to serve local and regional markets. As
`the pandemic unfolds in different stages around the world, 3M will continue to work with governments to direct
`respirators and other supplies to serve areas most in need.
`
`Beginning in January, 3M ramped up production of N95 respirators and doubled its global output to 1.1 billion per
`year — including the 35 million a month in the United States. 3M has already put into motion additional investments
`and actions that will enable it to double its capacity again to 2 billion globally within 12 months, with additional
`capacity to begin coming online in the next 60 to 90 days. In the United States, for example, 3M expects to be
`producing N95 respirators at a rate of 50 million per month in June, a 40 percent increase from current levels.
`
`respirators. 3M has not changed the prices it charges for respirators, and will take decisive action against those
`seeking to take illegal and unethical advantage of the COVlD-19 outbreak.
