A local PPE manufacturer says it is ready to help the COVID-19 crisis on a global scale.
The innovators of the Shield-U face shield are offering to supply any government or private sector organization with its product that is currently struggling to outfit and protect their workforce.
“We currently have a supply of 2 million face shields, and we have the capacity to produce up to 5 million a month. If you have a PPE shortfall, or anticipate you will soon have one, we should talk as soon as possible,” said David Yeaman, Co-Owner and President of Molded Precision Components.
The Shield-U face shield is a Class I medical device that is manufactured in an FDA-approved facility through a partnership between Molded Precision Components (MPC) and Sterling Industries. They are already making a huge difference and will have sent over 27 million PPE face shields to Federal and Provincial government contracts by the end of the fall.
Shield-U face shields are based on 40 years of medical device success, are fog-resistant and 100% recyclable.
“Our face shields are available in high quantities and right now we’re able to deliver them fast. This product can help a lot of people during these times of crisis, and we’re looking for partners to help,” said Andrew Bird, Director of Strategic Business Development at MPC.
Any organization with an urgent, or pending, need for large quantities of PPE and face shields are invited to contact Mark Smith, VP Global Sales, MPC at MSmith@mpccomponents.com.
