Nogales, Arizona - February 27, 2020 - Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. (NYSE American: APT), a leading manufacturer of products designed to protect people, products and environments, including disposable protective apparel and building products, today announced an update to the status of orders booked for APT's proprietary N-95Particulate Respirator face mask. As previously reported, over the last month, APT has ramped up production of the company's N-95face mask, which is manufactured by APT in the United States with material sourced domestically, in response to a significant increase in customer demand resulting from the outbreak of the coronavirus (Covid-19).

APT has now booked approximately $14.1 million in orders for the company's N-95 face mask since January 27, 2020, an increase of $3.6 million from the $10.4 million reported as of February 13, 2020, and demand for the product remains strong. As a result of the ramp up in production, the company now expects to fulfill approximately $4.0 million of the currently booked orders in the first quarter of 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, APT expects to fulfill the remainder of the $14.1 million in currently booked orders. The company's current ramp up plan is expected to be at full capacity by early May, which will enable the company to continue to fulfill current and expected future orders.

The Alpha Pro Tech N-95 Particulate Respirator face mask's unique flat-fold design features a Positive Facial Lock® (PFL®) and meets the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) recommended protection levels for many airborne contaminants. The N-95 face mask filters at least 95% of airborne particles. The integrated Magic Arch® technology creates a comfortable breathing chamber within the N-95 face mask by holding it away from the wearer's nose and mouth.
