STS Aviation starts masks

STS Aviation starts masks:

28 April 2020: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, STS Aviation services has started the production of Non-medical face masks and face shields, medical gowns, scrubs, patient curtains, aircraft seat blockers, aircraft seat cover headrests, office cubicle dividers etc at its Canadian AMO repair stations.

They are also prototyping designs on Hazmat suits, hospital sheets, pillowcases and aircraft in-flight entertainment screen guards.

Lena Watters, Sr. Vice President & General Manager of STS Aviation Services said, "Now is not the time for our company, or any other company with the means, for that matter, to sit idly on the side lines in anticipation of a positive outcome. Knowing that we had the capability to produce supplies that are in critical need to the public, we decided to act fast to get prototypes made, tested and re-tested all before flipping our production lines."

In early March of 2020, STS Aviation Group issued a 'work from home' order for all non-essential personnel across its global workforce. In addition, the team executed a meticulous work-safety plan for all essential employees that remained on the job site.

STS Aviation Group's President, Mark Smith said, "The safety of our essential employees has always been our primary concern. If they were not healthy and given a sterile and pristine environment to operate in we would not have been able to lend our support to this global relief effort. In saying that, I am immensely proud of our team's time, dedication and hard work. They made this possible. Now let us continue that work and get these supplies to those who need it most."
