Covercraft Industries is lending its manufacturing and engineering expertise to quickly expand production of urgently needed Personal Protective Equipment, mainly gowns and masks, for healthcare workers and first responders fighting the Coronavirus pandemic.
“Covercraft’s expertise in working with non-woven specialty fabrics has allowed us to pivot our operations in the USA from crafting car covers, seat covers, and windshield sunscreens to helping provide hospitals and first responders with personal protective equipment incredibly fast,” says Clay Callan, President and COO of Covercraft Industries.
“Orders began shipping this week, and we have capacity to potentially build hundreds of thousands of units. As an industry leader in the product categories we manufacture, we felt it was our duty to step in and help our country in this time of need,” adds Callan.
Professional bass angler Bradley Roy wasn’t surprised at all to hear about his title sponsor stepping in to help people.
“I got to spend a day with the Covercraft employees in early March, and the people there are just amazing. The culture and the environment are just awesome. Those folks go about their day with pride in what they produce, and I know they will do a great job building these life-saving PPE items for our healthcare workers,” said Roy.
Groups or organizations in need of these PPE products should contact Covercraft by calling (405) 367-8930 or by email at covercraftppe@covercraft.com
