Supporting the increased supply chain demand for medical products
The Pentagon Plastics Group, in Horsham, West Sussex has seen a sharp rise in the production demand for existing customer product lines in ventilation and other medical components, in response to the fight against COVID-19.
Pentagon provide both Mould Tooling and Plastic Injection Moulding for customer bespoke products all from one site of UK Manufacture.
The team has seen some staff self-isolate on medical grounds but continue to adapt their working structure to be able to meet this increase in demand. Altering staff shift patterns to facilitate employees who have young children, creating isolated workstations for staff that feel vulnerable and following strict social distancing guidelines have enabled the business to facilitate the huge 500% increase in demand seen for some products for the medical sector.
The engineering team within the business are also expediating customers new tooling projects to assist with the supply of new ventilator components into the NHS.
The 44 strong team at Pentagon are pulling together to deliver vital support to the UK supply chain in the production of vital hospital equipment. Led by Managing Director Paul Edwards, the group are proud to be able to support our frontline workers in the fight against COVID-19.
