4/13/2020 - Employees at Nucor Corp.’s Seattle, Wash., USA, rebar mill, along with a number of community partners, are increasing production of face shields that are being delivered to the local medical community.
“Our teammates are working hard to design, optimize and produce materials approved by the National Institutes of Health, as well as reaching out to local medical centers and caregivers to learn how we can best support them on the frontlines of this public health crisis,” environmental manager Patrick Jablonski told the West Seattle Blog.

“When our community learned of this effort, they stepped up to help and we have gone from 100 face shields in a week to about 100 face shields per day. We are proud to be able to use our resources to contribute to solutions but we are even more humbled by the response and immediacy with which our neighbors acted to help. We are all in this together.”
