Our business is a training business in north mississippi.

When all of this started happening.

I started talking with some of our members, team members, we need to keep the doors open.

What is it that we can do to do that's needed that will keep supplying employment, and i said that you think that we something supply face shield, and be we went online, researched it, and came up with a prototype, and started manufacturing face shield, and we reached out to a state customer of ours, that supplied a lot of stuff for nursing homes and asked them if they had after need for this, and surprisingly thermo the phones looking for them.

And we supplied them with some, and they worked really effective and they reached out to us, and asked us to crank up production, and then we decided luke, we need to make sure that we are covering mississippi as well, and so another employee reached out to mema, and said are y'all in need of these, and we have been manufacturing them nonstop since, seats been a good fit.

It is glad that we were able to take 800,s equipment from the 18 hundreds, and turned them into making face shields.
