The Covid-19 pandemic exposed major issues with our global supply chain related to personal protective equipment (PPE). These major gaps in the United States supply chain start with an over-reliance on overseas manufacturing and a just-in-time supply chain that relies on filling orders as they are received. The lack of supplies documented in a March 2020 report by the Department of Health and Human Services showed the crisis and why the U.S. must redesign its supply chain model for PPE. Hanowa Capital served as an intermediary with the White House and the federal agencies to access needed resources to solve for supply chain problems.
The federal government must ensure enough PPE production remains on US shores to prevent a repeat of 2020 international shortages during the next pandemic. The federal government needs to incentivize businesses to continue making PPE domestically. We need at minimum N95 masks (respirators), nitrile gloves, surgical gowns, and ventilators domestically produced and capable of rapid expansion to ensure lifesaving measures for US citizens.
Hanowa is working with an international client to develop a comprehensive plan using Innovative technology to address vulnerabilities in the PPE supply chain and set up US manufacturing that supports high-quality jobs in opportunity zones. With over 2,200 direct jobs in Phase I and 5,000 within 5 years, this is a win for US manufacturing. We'll post here as we're able to make public announcements.
