WHO WE ARE

Founded in Guatemala City in 1948, Guateplast was the first plastics factory in Central America. In our 72 years, we’ve come far, providing a line of over 500 products across the United States, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
The creation of the Guateplast face shield started when the Universidad de San Carlos in Guatemala put out a call to the private sector, asking for help to mass produce and adapt their shield design. Together with the university’s team of medical experts and engineers, we created a product now used by Guatemalans on the frontlines of this pandemic.

What are doctors saying about the efficacy of face shields? Are they better than face masks? 
Recently, several medical experts have expressed their trust in face shields. Here are just a few excerpts:

Dr. James Cherry, UCLA specialist on pediatrics and infectious disease said to the LA Times: Face shields are more effective than masks in protecting the wearer from viral infection. He shares that wearers are less likely to touch their face when wearing a shield than when using a face mask — and also that respiratory infections can infect people through their eyes, not just their nose and mouth.

Medical experts writing for the BMJ, formerly known as the British Medical Journal, note that there is limited evidence about the efficacy of facemasks, particularly cloth ones. “The evidence is not sufficiently strong to support widespread use of facemasks as a protective measure against covid-19. However, there is enough evidence to support the use of facemasks for short periods of time by particularly vulnerable individuals when in transient higher risk situations".
