Surrey, BC shepherds local manufacturing shift to protective equipment with Surrey Makes PPE

Surrey, BC Surrey Makes PPE Local Manufacturing Equipment

In Progress

City officials worked with three local manufacturers to transform production lines early in the COVID-19 pandemic. This concerted effort created a monthly capacity of 800,000 masks in less than four weeks. An online marketplace allows Canadian health groups and government agencies to order protective equipment from Surrey companies. The Surrey Makes PPE website houses a Manufacturer Research Centre with guidelines for companies interested in production shifts.
