Calumet Electronics is taking the fight to COVID-19.
Every year, the 290 employees of Calumet Electronics produce over 500,000 printed circuit boards for the American medical device industry.
Now, they’re working around the clock to meet the demands of the healthcare industry, which now includes making parts for ventilators.
Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Todd Brassard said ”A company who produces breathing machine equipment, placed a large order with us for ventilators needed at the front line of the COVID-19 battle. We will prioritize and deliver these types of orders ASAP. Our committed employees, technologies and 50 years of experience, positions Calumet to deliver reliable parts that will work without fail in these ventilators.”
The repercussions of the global COVID-19 outbreak are slowing offshore delivery of orders, which is increasing the urgent demand for domestic production.
There are less than 100 Printed Circuit Board manufacturers, and of those, only a handful possess the quality standards to produce components that are capable of sustaining lives.
Calumet Electronics has been delivering extraordinary quality for decades and is ready to accept the challenge.
