Perkins customers Sullair, Generac and Genie support their local communities

We’ve seen many examples of our customers working hard to support both their end-users as well as their local communities. Thank you to all our customers, from all corners of the world, for everything you are doing to help keep people safe. 

Sullair

Global air compressor manufacturer Sullair worked quickly to donate more than 1,200 N95 masks to help keep a local U.S. hospital equipped with PPE (personal protective equipment) essentials.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has created a difficult time for everyone — families, businesses and communities, but especially for those on the front lines,” said a statement from Sullair. “The brave medical professionals at Franciscan Health Michigan City continue to help keep us safe and contain the spread of COVID-19. Together, we need to do everything we can to help protect them.”

Generac

To help protect essential healthcare workers with the required PPE, the team at Generac came together to procure and donate hundreds of safety glasses for two medical facilities in the U.S.

The generator set manufacturer said: “On behalf of our employees, thank you to the healthcare professionals, first responders, essential service providers, and all those working to keep us safe.”

Genie

After watching a video about the types of medical equipment hospitals needed, Genie — known for developing innovative products that make working at height more productive — knew that its facility was able and willing to aid in the fight against COVID-19.

After a Genie design engineer created a prototype mask from store bought materials, teams across the company came together to create more than 5,000 masks for donation to a local hospital in Washington, U.S.

Additionally, Genie engineers have used the company’s 3D printing capabilities to make some custom parts, which allowed critical hospital PPE to be put back into service quickly.
