PA Manufacturing Call to Action Portal mobilizes producers
The Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development – in collaboration with its strategic partners – wants to mobilize manufacturers that can produce critical medical supplies and products in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you are a current manufacturer of supplies and products or can pivot your existing manufacturing capabilities to meet the necessary demand, DCED wants to hear from you.
The Pennsylvania Manufacturing Call to Action Portal allows us to:
- Match manufacturers and distributors to fill specific supply chain needs to meet increasing demands for medical supplies and related products.
- Assist manufacturers that have workforce needs or gaps and aid them in identifying skilled workers.
- Identify manufacturers that can pivot or innovate to fulfill the demand for medical supplies and related products.
Over the past several weeks, DCED and the Pennsylvania Departments of Health and General Services, and the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency have heard from countless manufacturers and other businesses from across the Commonwealth about how they can help through their existing means and through new innovative techniques.
Many have also reached out to share challenges, supply chain disruptions and workforce issues, which are impeding their ability to produce more of what is most needed to battle COVID-19.
The Pennsylvania Manufacturing Call to Action Portal which will help streamline those requests and facilitate the connections you need to overcome your challenges and provide critical supplies to Pennsylvania.
