Stellar Mold and Tool n Galesville assisted with developing the needed molds, waiving much of the assocated costs to assist Spartek in creating mass amounts of the personal protective equipment. Mayo Clinic Health System was among the medical facilities benefiting from the project, receiving 1,500 of the face shields. From the La Crosse Tribune, April 26, 2020. |
