In response to COVID-19, manufacturing companies like Trimantec have expanded their business focus to new product demands. Trimantec is designing and creating their own PPE products using in-house materials and machines. Mask extenders and acrylic sneeze guards are simple yet effective solutions for many industries to implement at their workplace during this global pandemic. Manufacturing technologies such as 3D printers and laser cutters make these types of products easier and quicker to mass produce than ever before.
Mask extenders were initially introduced for healthcare workers, however, the need for this product has extended beyond hospital staff. Trimantec recently received order requests from nearby schools, offices, and manufacturing facilities. They have also garnered interest from international medical centers. Trimantec hopes to continue their in-house manufacturing efforts and create new PPE products as COVID-19 continues to unfold.
