Two local businesses have teamed up to get out of fashion design and into making personal protective equipment (PPE) to help address demands due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In just under four weeks, Carmina de Young, a clothing design company, and MLD Solutions Inc., have transitioned to the production of gowns and masks to address shortage due to COVID-19.
Carmina de Young handles the produce purchasing of material while MLD takes care of the business and marketing side of things.
Mona Lam-Deslippe, CEO of MLD, said it all started when she received an email about a fund to help business retool manufacturing to fight the spread of COVID-19.
