Dapra Supports Shops Shifting to Medical Device Manufacturing
Facilities shifting to medical device manufacturing in the wake of COVID-19 are eligible for a discount on cutters and inserts.
Dapra Corp., a manufacturer of indexable carbide milling tools and inserts, has announced a new initiative to support U.S. shops that are pivoting their manufacturing processes to supply the medical industry in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Dapra is now providing significant tooling discounts and advanced technical support to manufacturing facilities that are prioritizing the production of life-saving respirator equipment or personal protective equipment (PPE). These facilities and the distributors serving them will be eligible for a 50% discount on both cutters and inserts during this period of crisis.
“Medical personnel are the real heroes of this moment, and we applaud those shops that are making a positive difference by supporting their critical needs,” says Mike Bitner, vice president of sales and product management. “As an American manufacturer serving American manufacturers, Dapra is here to support these shops however we can.”
