solutions in times of crisis
CDM Tool & Mfg. is a company that considers itself blessed to be a part of the solution to fighting COVID-19. The plastic injection molds that they have been designing and manufacturing since 1962 are all made in the U.S out of its Hartford, Wisconsin, facility.
They recently partnered with customers and suppliers to expedite and maximize the resources necessary so that they could be a part of the solution for saving lives during this pandemic. The CDM Team is building the mold for the headband (white plastic part) at this time. This face shield will be provided to medical personnel for the COVID-19 fight. [CDM Tool’s customer is Novation Industries in Illinois. Novation’s customer is Surewerx/Sellstrom.]
