The COVID-19 pandemic has brought changes and disruptions to daily life all across the country, and some of those impacted the most are our very own small and local businesses in Maryland. Many companies are coming up with innovative ways to increase or pivot production and provide support to those in need while keeping up with the coronavirus.
Keeping Maryland clean
The demand for quality disinfectants and sanitizers has never been more relevant. Sterilex, a Hunt Valley-based company, has been at the forefront of sanitizer and disinfectant production in Maryland. The company is currently working at full capacity to keep up with increased demands for products, with a special focus on keeping essential workers and food establishments safe.
“Our products are working each day to keep essential workers safe in food manufacturing and protein processing facilities. And by keeping those workers safe, we're helping to keep a critical industry operational,” said Alex Josowitz, President of Sterilex. “Without a robust and secure food supply chain, we’ll start to see disruptions in supply, which means less food on our shelves and tables.”
Sterilex is working with more than 50 food manufacturers in the state to make sure they are equipped with the products they need to keep plants going. The company was also one of the first to be included on the Environmental Protection Agencies’ List N, which includes disinfectant formulas approved for use against COVID-19.
