The team at Pneumatic Scale Angelus in Waterloo, Canada helped a local brewery convert over their still from propane to electric, allowing better regulation of the still so that it could begin producing hand sanitizer quickly for local hospitals, first responders and the local food bank. Jeremy Ogram and Cory Dettweiler of PSA-Canada took on the small job that would have taken the brewery hours or even days to do. They were able to complete it in 30 minutes. Because of it, the brewery was able to double its previous output, to 40 L of hand sanitizer each day. The Waterloo Regional Police received a delivery of 100 L (26 gal) of the hand sanitizer.

“It is critical to make the right decisions for our team members, our customers and our communities during these extraordinary times. Not only do we need to sustain our thriving business to take care of our people, but also for our customers… as they depend on Barry-Wehmiller companies and the decisions we, as leaders, make.”

Heeding the call for surgical masks, the Pneumatic Scale Angelus team in Waterloo, Canada found an unopened box in their vending machine and sent it to a local hospital. Upon discovering a partial box in their safety cabinet, they sent it to a local veterinarian with surgeries to perform but no supply of masks. Search your supply areas in case you can spare some of the vitally needed PPE (personal protective equipment).

When a part could not be gotten from a subcontractor that had shut down due to the COVID-19 crisis, assembler Gérard Philippe, of PSA/Hema in Quimper, France, stepped in to make the modification. He had to do a special welding on stainless steel that he’s not used to do but he managed it very well! Thanks to Gérard, time was not wasted, and assembling could move forward.

When PCMC couldn’t reach a supplier to replace gears for a medical supply customer desperately trying to prevent a machine failure, PCMC’s own internal team manufactured the parts and got them to the customer the next day!
