That's because the rails didn't really exist for hiring the kind of talent modern startups needed until recently. We've had about 10 developers in LATAM for 3-4 years and it's been a game changer for my companies.
Haha thanks.. this one got out of hand. People kept asking me if x or y mask was "good" and I was just really curious... one day I looked up and had tested more masks than the CDC.
I learned so much though about how different manufacturers do things, where they cut corners, where they invest.
One crazy thing I learned was that almost all of the KN95s on amazing were not following the GB2626-2019 ("KN95") mask spec.... even though it's not that hard. So I decided to make a KN95 that followed the spec! Great way to really get into the product.
Yes, it took us a long time to get it right... manufacturing is hard but that's why we have an earloop guarantee. Write support@armbrust.com and they will refund you or get you a new order.
Appreciate you replying. I think I found your company by a video you (?) posted about the magic of the meltblown process which sent me down a pretty entertaining rabbit hole.
I had some issues with import masks previously so I went deep with an order of the denim colored masks thinking this would get us squared away. It was extremely frustrating when I couldn't get a single one to hold together and wasn't sure if I just got took by a bullshit story or you all were just going through growing pains. I'm glad to see it was the latter and am really glad to see some domestic manufacturing stood up.
I'll give the earloop guarantee a shot and get a few on your tab. Would love to get a steady supplier, it's always hit and miss around here. If you have any suggestions for big head folks so we don't look like walking wingnuts I'm all ears...literally.
