On March 13, the province of Quebec declared a health emergency due to the global Covid-19 pandemic. Shortly after the implementation of this exceptional measure, researchers from the Center hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM) asked for the help and agility of the Optimoule team in order to design a reliable and safe for personnel struggling to stop the spread of the virus.
In just 23 days, the Thetford Mines company Optimoule refocused part of its activities to design the tools and launch the production of the HERO Faceshield Visor, which is now distributed in the Health and social services, dentists’ offices, school boards, manufacturing companies and businesses.
