COVID-19 continues to impact daily life across the globe and here at home, with perhaps the greatest burden on our frontline essential employees. Healthcare organizations have struggled with shortages of critical personal protective equipment (PPE).

- New Hampshire National Guard
- Cambridge Health Alliance
- Boston Medical Center
- UMASS Medical
- Mass League
- Mount Auburn Hospital
- MEMA
- North Country Health
- Lawrence Hospital
- Brockton Hospital
- Beth Israel Hospital
- Brigham & Women’s Hospital
DGI Pivots Production Capabilities to Meet PPE Demands
DGI also converted one of its production lines for the exclusive production of clear protective face shields. DGI has already produced tens of thousands of shields with production now over 2,000 per day at the Billerica facility.
DGI is helping essential businesses in other ways, as well. They are working with supermarkets and retail stores to create signage promoting appropriate social distancing; DGI is also working with stores to create protective clear shields for checkout areas. In addition, DGI is assisting schools and businesses with free trials of Zoom and helping with equipment implementation.
DGI is helping businesses with work-from-home orders by providing the AV and communications products and services employees need to stay productive and safe. DGI’s in-house response to the pandemic includes a shift to remote-work for non-essential employees, CDC-guideline-compliant workspaces in our facilities, and enhanced safety measures on job sites to protect both our workers and our clients.
DGI would like to recognize and thank the partners who helped fund and support the mask donation effort:

- Bill Stang of Windy City
- Almo
- Rob Leclerc of Crestron
- Richard Dean Associates
