Long before Covid 19 extended its grip on America and throughout the world, causing businesses to shut down and families to self isolate at home, we were in the midst of planning a move to our new location at 6000 Manchester Avenue while still working to solve the fluid conveyance needs of our customers.
We have ramped up machining of these brackets used by a regional manufacturer of ventilators.
Per our request, 15,000 feet of nitrogen gas hose has been fast-tracked for delivery.
Calling that a challenge is an understatement.
Still, we got ourselves moved in. And though a lot of businesses have gone into hibernation, there are still companies out there that need our services - and we will not let them down.
One of our customers is a regional manufacturer of hospital ventilators. Even with the move to our new location, we were able to ramp up our production of machining brackets for these ventilators. The amount we normally provide them quarterly, we're now providing on a weekly basis that will extend into the next few months.
That same customer also buys nitrogen gas hose that has been approved for breathing applications. They recently sent an emergency order for 15,000 feet of the hose. When we contacted the hose plant, they said delivery would be in 6-8 weeks.
When we explained the need for the hose and the immediacy of the order, we received an entirely different answer. The order was moved to the front of the production schedule and will ship to Milpaws this coming Monday. Our hats off to them!
