Membership in Action

In the face of plummeting sales due to COVID-caused shutdowns, an INDA Member was able to pivot into PPE production, with help from INDA. Without INDA's contributions, it would have taken much longer to find those new sources of commercial demand or, in the worst case, they may not have been located.

FROM CRISIS TO OPPORTUNITY

INDA helps company shift into PPE production

The economic impacts of the COVID-caused shutdown in early 2020 created significant challenges for one INDA Member, due to crashing demand in normally dependable markets. One of their first actions during the pandemic crisis was to contact key INDA employees. The INDA team was able to provide the right tools and contacts to tap into sources of market demand for medical nonwoven products, which were new to the company. This provided the opportunity pathway to generate a critical revenue stream, maintain the vast majority of the workforce and power through the worst part of the COVID-caused economic shutdown.
