NAPOLEON WORKERS VOLUNTEER TO MAKE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AMIDST COVID-19

摘要

Napoleon, Canadian manufacturer of heating and cooling equipment as well as fireplaces and grills, came to the aid of a neighbouring company in Barrie, Ont. to keep up with surging demand for medical essentials during the COVID-19 pandemic. "We wanted to help. However our facilities are not setup for the product required for medical equipment, so we quickly found how we can help by partnering with a local medical equipment producer," said Stephen Schroeter, co-CEO for Napoleon in a company release. "We have trained and re-focused Napoleon manufacturing workers to really help medical equipment colleagues deliver on surging demand at a critical time. We are so proud of our team for their willingness to volunteer to help where help is needed and put themselves on the frontline of this crisis." Some 50 Napoleon associates were covering four shifts each day including midnights. The team provided support in the areas of material handling, machine operations, assembly, engineering, quality control as well as team leadership and supervisory support.
