Press Release: Urgent Request For Local Manufacturers

March 20, 2020

 Special Information To Share with Regional Manufacturers in your Area:

We received an urgent request from the National Association of Manufacturers on behalf of the White House to get this information out to our regional contacts. The Federal Government is seeking manufacturers that can produce critically needed supplies for the national response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The “Survey for Manufacturers” link below will gather details on facilities and capacity. We strongly urge you to send this out to your contacts and encourage local manufacturers to take this survey to assess the ability of manufacturing businesses to respond to the national emergency. Please take the survey as soon as possible and submit your information.

Due to the urgency of this request, manufacturers should take the survey as soon as possible [beginning] today, Wednesday, March 18.

Please note survey question #5. Even if an organization cannot produce specific items that are requested, that organization may indicate other items they are in position to make available. If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact the National Association of Manufacturers’ COVID-19 response team. Their website is https://www.nam.org/.
