Portfolio Welcome: Amorsui
In healthcare and laboratory environments, the right personal protection equipment (PPE) is critical to protecting the health and wellbeing of those wearing it. Moreover, choosing smarter PPE is one of the most powerful ways to reduce the carbon footprint of these organizations. Yet, very few PPE solutions offer fit, comfort, protection, and sustainability. That is until now!
In producing PPE that is washable, recyclable, and designed to fit a wider range of bodies than disposable / single use PPE, NY-based Amorsui is leading the charge in making PPE better for people and for the environment. From humble beginnings selling direct to consumer to selling into large enterprise, Amorsui is transforming the efficacy and sustainability of PPE, and doing it at scale.
Now you know why we are thrilled to welcome Amorsui into the RevUp portfolio and excited to be a small part of this company’s amazing journey!
Founder and CEO Beau Wangtrakuldee created the company when she was burned by chemicals while working as an engineer in a lab. The PPE she was wearing, designed for tall, male bodies, did not protect her with a proper fit, and as a result she was seriously burned in this accident. With millions of bodies–of all shapes and sizes–needing proper PPE it made no sense that PPE couldn’t be better at protecting wearers. Beyond that, designing PPE that was more sustainable and less harmful to the environment proved to be one the most powerful ways to reduce the carbon footprint of clinical organizations.
Amoursui garments are sized to fit bodies of all shapes and sizes, offering fit and comfort with superior protection—protection that would have stopped Beau from being burned years ago at the bench. Even better, Amorsui PPE can be worn and washed hundreds of times, and at the end of its useful lifespan, the garments can be returned to the company where the “used” textiles are recycled into new garments. This approach to “zero waste” manufacturing is often referred to as the “circular economy,” and it is the gold standard for organizations seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve environmental goals / climate goals.
While still servicing D2C buyers, Amorsui has a primary focus on selling to enterprise buyers that are seeking actionable ways to achieve sustainability mandates while offering superior protection to their clinicians. As a bonus, Amorsui has both international and domestic production capability, making them an ideal solution for healthcare orgs that are subject to federal legislation mandating the use of domestically produced PPE.
We know great things are ahead for this company, so stay tuned for updates!
