In March of 2020, we made a pretty big shift. We went from manufacturing splitboard bindings and accessories to producing ‘beyond crisis capacity’ PPE masks called the Montana Mask. We manufactured a mold based on an already existing 3D print design and then utilized our injection-molding machines to begin producing thousands of masks a day. Check out one of the links below to learn more about our work on the Montana Mask project.

To date, we’ve manufactured over 65,000 masks and worked with other organizations to produce thousands more. Our masks have shipped to all 50 states and six different countries! A project like this doesn’t happen without the help and cooperation of a lot of people. Throughout the Montana Mask project, we’ve been blown away by not only the efforts of some amazing people here at Spark R&D, but also by so many folks from a variety of different industries. It was a true team effort to get these masks made! 

To thank and recognize these awesome individuals who helped with the Montana Mask project we created the
Good Person Awards (made right here at Spark HQ, of course).
