Orbitform’s response to COVID-19 includes sanitizing machines for medical masks

By Michelle Froese | April 2, 2020

Orbitform, a U.S. provider of standard and custom forming, fastening, and riveting products and processes, says it is working hard to provide ever-growing results and security of its employees, customers, and vendors.

With concerns related to COVID-19, the manufacturer is taking diligent precautions to ensure safe working environments and to deliver safe results.

“Led by our world-class team of Project Managers, the Orbitform manufacturing team is still hard at work building your assembly solutions. With respect to our Government’s recommendations of safe social distancing, proper air ventilation, and cleaning techniques, our team is continuing their work with no plan to slow down,” says a recent company news release.

What’s more: Orbitform recently announced that it is re-purposing its facilities to produce sanitizing machines for medical masks. These masks will allow the company to help provide to the medical industry at this challenging time.

Here are some of the steps the company is taking to maintain safe working conditions.

Clean environment
Through additional part washing, sanitizing high traffic areas, and maintaining a clean and safe environment, Orbitform says it will continue to drive safe practices for its employees and customers.

Health and safety
With the increased risk of exposure to COVID-19, Orbitform is reducing travel time in the field. In place of the traditional face-to-face meetings, the company is offering the following opportunities:

  • One-on-one discussion to learn about customer’s assembly projects to determine if Orbitform may be a fit as a trusted advisor and supplier.
  • Assembly review to determine the best forming, fastening, or riveting method for an assembly’s joint.
  • Permanent versus non-permanent fastening education.
  • Machine run-off and acceptance video conferencing, including in-depth details of the complete machine, along with training. These videos will be recorded for future reference.

Orbitform’s service department will continue to support via phone and video conferencing, reserving travel for emergencies only until the risk of exposure has diminished.
