Axalta is using its global operations and technical know-how to provide critical equipment and products to help fight the coronavirus.
As part of Axalta’s coronavirus relief efforts, the company will produce thousands of gallons of hand sanitiser, donate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as facemasks, coveralls, closed hoods, and protective sleeves to hospitals throughout the world, and provide more than 5,000 seat covers to medical professionals.
Robert Bryant, Axalta’s chief executive officer, said: “Axalta is committed to worldwide efforts to support the safety, health, and well-being of hospital professionals, first responders, and our employees. Our entire global Axalta family is pulling together to use our collective energy and resources to help fight coronavirus in the communities where we live, work, and raise our families.
“We are putting our manufacturing might and supply inventories to work in order to offer products that will make a difference where they are needed most – whether that be in hospital rooms, on ambulances, or on the manufacturing floor. We will continue to look for opportunities to leverage our capabilities to the fullest and remain steadfast in our goal of serving our communities and the true heroes on the front lines of this fight.”
