Gov. Tom Wolf this week praised Pennsylvania businesses that have pivoted to produce critical products during the COVID-19 public health crisis.

The governor highlighted several of the numerous Pennsylvania-based businesses that stepped up to assist first responders, health care systems, and life-sustaining businesses by shifting production to much-needed medical equipment, products used for personal protective equipment and sanitization.

Among them:

Textile manufacturer Gitman Brothers of Ashland, Schuylkill County, one of the few remaining fabric manufacturers in our state, has retooled its operations to create anti-microbial hospital gowns.

Sports apparel maker Fanatics in Easton, Northampton County, shifted from making baseball jerseys to safety masks and gowns for health care workers.
