Alicia Woods, from Sudbury, who owns and operates Covergalls, has been involved with the mining industry for over 15 years. She worked as Director of Sales for MacLean Engineering, and in sales for the Marcotte Mining Machinery Services Inc. In 2012, Alicia created Covergalls to design, manufacture and distribute wear for women miners. Her first large client was Vale. This is an inexpensive, lightweight, comfortable t-shirt intended as work wear. (From Acquisitions Worksheet, see Ref. 1)

Function

To provide protection while working on industrial sites. (From Acquisitions Worksheet, see Ref. 1)

Technical

Although women were always present in mining operations – in fact some medieval prints show women working in mines – only very recently, in the first decades of the 21st c. as women enter more high paying industry jobs, female entrepreneurs started to actively design, develop and manufacture PPEs especially designed to fit women’s bodies. The t-shirts are made in Mexico by M&O Knits, a manufacturer of industrial textiles. Distribuidora Moyel S.A. De C.V, is a small (6-10 employees) exporter of cotton and knitwear located in Mexico.
