Triumph Group and the Triumph Group Foundation recently announced they will expand support for nonprofit organizations serving communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Triumph, through its foundation, has contributed to the Red Cross, the United Way Project Home, Operation Homefront, and the Philabundance Food Bank.
“These organizations provide food, financial and social services to individuals and families who may face additional hardships due to loss of work or shelter in place mandates as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak,” Melissa Scheppele, Triumph Foundation Executive and Triumph Group CIO, said. “We have longstanding relationships with these organizations and are pleased to provide additional support to help them fulfill their missions during this critical time.”
Triumph’s global factories and team are working to support healthcare providers and hospitals.
Several Triumph sites are using 3D printers to produce face shields for first responders. A factory on the Isle of Man will use the printers to produce valves to create makeshift ventilator masks. The valves will be retrofitted on snorkeling masks and connected to oxygen distributors.
Two aftermarket repair businesses will produce nonmedical fabric masks used to reduce the spread of respiratory droplets to the face.
The sites will produce personal protective equipment for community partners and other Triumph facilities.
