GM Canada completes federal order for 10M masks

摘要

GM Canada has fulfilled its order of 10 million masks for the Public Health Agency of Canada. Since the start of production on May 26, 2020, the team at the Oshawa Operations plant produced approximately one million masks a month to help protect front-line workers and other Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic. GM Canada received a license to produce from Health Canada on Apr. 22, 2020, and in just over three weeks with support from GM's global supply chain, the company sourced materials, built the clean room with enhanced safety protocols, installed the required equipment, and recalled and trained 60 workers for two shifts of production in Oshawa in partnership with Unifor.
