LEXcon Company, Inc. is a
global leader in coated and
laminated films and adhesives
used in graphics applications,
manufactured goods and new
products.
FLEXcon is a family-owned
company that provides a
collaborative, consultative approach
to deliver unique solutions that help
customers achieve better business
results. For over 60 years They have
been a trusted partner to a wide
range of companies from printers
and fabricators to engineers and
designers developing products for
existing and emerging markets.
The company responded to
COVID-19 when they received a call
from a healthcare worker, asking
for help because hospitals were
running low on personal protective
equipment.
Within two days, using materials
they already had in house, FLEXcon
produced face shields for use by
medical professionals.
The first 1,000 face shields
were donated to UMass Memorial
Healthcare.
FLEXcon Chairman Neil
McDonough said, "The feedback we
got from them, we went back and
made some modifications. So far
we've made 30,000 shields and given
them to seven hospitals, mostly in
Worcester County, but going as far
as Mass. General and Baystate, as
well. Also, some first responders."
FLEXcon then transitioned to
making face shields and selling them
to try to help fill the current gap in
personal protective equipment.
