Crews at Davey Plastics in Regina have been working around the clock to help protect front-line workers. Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, the local plastic company has been hit by a wave of orders for plastic protective shields, also known as sneeze guards. “It’s been crazy.
We’re working 12 to 14 hours a day with two crews machining parts and bending around the clock,” said Layne Maier, who co-owns Davey Plastics with his father Lonnie. “It’s all about speed.
We’re trying to get everyone protected as quickly as possible.” While many organizations have transitioned to have their employees working from home, some essential services still rely on having staff on hand.
