€6 million in 6 months: Thriving manufacturer opens Spain’s first mask shop

Reprotect has announced making 6 million in just 6 months – the mask manufacturer has now opened Spain’s first mask shop.

Last week saw the opening of UrbnMsk: the first shop exclusively selling masks in Spain.

For a brand-new product now obligatory for anyone over six, demand should not be an issue.

The shop is the physical arm of start-up Reprotect, which was launched during the pandemic to manufacture stylish cotton masks.

The masks range from 8.90-14.95€ and have already made headlines: the president of Barcelona FC, Josep Maria Bartomeu, has been spotted wearing a Reprotect.

The Reprotect company has already brought in €6 million in just six months of operation, according to La Vanguardia.
