When the COVID-19 pandemic swept across Canada and by March the country was shutdown, it was evident the healthcare system was short of personal protective equipment, ventilators and other safety supplies.
Manufacturers and other suppliers responded to a federal government call to action by shifting their operations to produce COVID-related supplies, which meant buying equipment, securing suppliers and quickly ramping up production.
Their innovations and agility resulted in a steady flow of safety supplies and the development of hospital equipment for frontline healthcare workers and consumers. To honour their efforts, Canadian Manufacturing, PLANT and EP&T magazines (Annex Business Media) hosted the Responding to COVID-19: Industry Leadership Honours, covering 10 categories. This virtual event was sponsored by Machin
