Orpian® was born out of the desire to boost UK resilience in the wake of the Covid—19 Pandemic. After seeing the sub-standard quality of surgical masks being imported to supply our NHS and privately owned businesses, we felt that we could manufacture a higher-quality product, whilst ensuring we comply with UK and International standards.
We are proud to be a UK manufacturer, creating jobs and doing our bit to boost the economy.
Our name, Orpian®, is derived from the Old English word Orþian, meaning ‘To Breathe’.
The Old English letter þ is called Thorn, and was pronounced as a ‘Th’ sound.
Our MHRA registered Type IIR surgical masks are all manufactured at our site in Eastcote, NW London.
