reator of the Gripper Cushion
Since 1927, Klear Vu has
been known for its consistent
quality, on-trend fashion, technical
innovation, and on-time delivery.
A company owned by the Cooper
family, Klear Vu has been producing
chair cushions and pillows for 93
years. Like many manufacturers in
the Commonwealth, Klear Vu has
stepped up to assist in the COVID-19
crisis. This year, they have shifted
their production to produce machine
washable protective masks. Klear Vu
has produced thousands of masks to
distribute throughout the country.
They credit their ability to do this
to the work of their employees and
to the dedication they have to their
community.
Klear Vu and its employees
pivoted their talents to fill a need
locally and nationally to sew
hundreds of thousands of masks in
response to the COVID-19 crisis.
When reached out to and asked
what they could do, they generously
responded with a donation of
5,000 disposable masks and 1,000
reusable masks for the City of
Fall River to be made available to
the business community and the
residents of Fall River.
The community is incredibly
blessed to have companies like
Klear Vu who have stepped up to
help our community in this crisis.
Not only have they faced many
challenges to change production, but
they have also generously provided
their valuable products to local fire
departments, nursing homes, and
health facilities. Representative
Carole Fiola noted; "It makes me
proud to have been able to help
coordinate this effort to further their
generosity to our community."
