(Ball Chain) family of companies, proudly reaffirms its commitment to the market and its customers, leading with its values and a foundation of trust.

The company produces over 4 million feet of ball chain each week and is proudly committed to American manufacturing. Ball Chain's products can be found every day on pull chains, key chains, neck chains, window shades, plumbing attachments, handbags, and in fine jewelry.

The company has been featured prominently in The New York Times, Wirecutter, Scientific American and featured on Inside Edition. Bona Fide Masks is excited to enter a new phase of growth, rooted in its founding principles of honesty, integrity, authenticity and always doing the right thing for its customers.
Continuing to focus on its direct and industry-leading supply chain, Bona Fide Masks leans on its strategic partnerships with well-regarded mask manufacturers, Powecom and Harley. Following the principles of trust outlined in its long-established authenticity statement, the company is reinforcing its commitment to transparency, authenticity and integrity. This pledge has served as the cornerstone of Bona Fide Masks' commitment to its customers.
Proudly serving as the Exclusive Distributor for Powecom KN95 products in the U.S., Bona Fide Masks is also the Exclusive Distributor for Harley KN95 Products in the US and Canada. This partnership has grown to include the complete line of Harley Surgical N95 masks, and the Harley line of surgical 3 ply masks. Further underscoring its brand promise, in 2022, the company purchased astate-of-the-art mask testing machine to provide an additional layer of quality assurance for its customers and the marketplace.
Bona Fide Masks' launch of its warehouse and distribution site in Greenville, South Carolina reflects its commitment to prompt delivery and best-in-class customer service. The new site represents a tremendous opportunity as the company eyes plans to expand its presence in the marketplace, while remaining keenly customer focused.
"Since our founding at the request of a community leader at the height of the pandemic, we have forged deep and meaningful relationships with our customers. We are proud that we have earned their trust and work hard every day to maintain it.
