NZ manufactured PPE supply
Metalform announced:
We wanted to do our bit to help fight COVID-19 and get our little country back on track. We want to help protect the frontline nurses, doctors, supermarket staff, pharmacy staff, food producers etc…. because these brave guys are keeping the country running.
We have pulled together a 100% Kiwi company supply chain and together we are manufacturing large volumes of low cost face shield PPE for our front line workers in the fight against Covid-19.
I noticed a news-clip the other day about plane loads of PPE coming in from overseas, where there are many manufacturers in NZ that can produce the same items which would keep hundreds or thousands of kiwis in jobs.
We have tooled up and producing between 35,000 and 50,000 face shields per week in rural New Zealand (small town called Dannevirke in the centre of the universe) which will save many kiwi’s jobs in the supply chain if we get noticed by the MOH and government.
Our staff of nearly 100, are all behind this 100% which means we can save jobs and provide our front line workers with the PPE they need and deserve immediately!

Good to see NZ companies responding to the pandemic this way.
