call for much-needed PPE during
the pandemic, after several employees with family members in
the healthcare industry recognized
the need for these items. The company plans to continue producing
PPE as long as it is needed and
expects there to be a demand for
domestically produced PPE on an
on-going basis, says Joe Mirabile,
president and CEO, USSC.
The PPE project has also created new product lines for the
company. In addition to the nearly 70,000 face shields produced,
USSC is also now producing masks
and door openers, along with transit-specific PPE such as AEGIS, an
antimicrobial spray for interiors
and exteriors, a portable UV-C
Air & Surface Disinfection Lamp
and vinyl seat covers to name a few.

The new line of products will
be manufactured at the company's new 200,000-square-foot facility, which is scheduled to open
in quarter three of 2020. While

Stepping Up as 'Good
Corporate Citizens'

Whether companies are exploring new product offerings in the
wake of manufacturing PPE or
are planning to cease operations
once demand for PPE eases off,
they've all taken their role seriously to provide critical supplies
to agencies, organizations and
people in need.
"This isn't a product we created in hopes of generating new
sales. It was just a way for us to
contribute and be good corporate
citizens. This is our way of giving
back," Cohen said.
