U
SPack, Inc., is a woman-
owned manufacturer and
worldwide distributor of
chemical specialty products based
in Leominster. In March, when the

ramp up production of its Hi-Gear
Hand Sanitizer and distribute the
product where the need is greatest-
among local first responders and
other helpers.

hundreds of bottles of hand
sanitizer to local police departments
and other front-line responders
including; Leominster Police & Fire
Departments, Blackstone Police
Department, Hudson Police & Fire
Departments, Templeton Police &
Fire Departments, Gardner Police &
Fire Departments, and many others.
In these times, Hi-Gear/USPack

these efforts as a continuation of
her broader goal and steadfast

good, as well as in challenging times.

"Battling this terrifying pandemic requires the concerted effort of
communities, businesses and concerned people everywhere;" said
Svetlana Aptekman, president and cofounder with her late husband,
Alexander Aptekman. "It is my sincerest hope that our contribution,
when combined with the noble efforts of others, can help mitigate
the spread of this terrible disease, relieve economic instability for
our employees, and help return our communities to a greater sense
of normalcy as soon as possible."
