A manufacturer may be on the move to London, relocating its plant and workers here, but it isn’t waiting to open before it takes on COVID-19 locally.

Progressive Fluids in Mississauga has pivoted from making industrial lubricants for manufacturers to hand sanitizer, and is shipping it to Goodwill Industries in London to package and distribute.

The Goodwill Commercial Solutions office on White Oak Road this week received about 2,500 litres of hand sanitizer in massive, 1,000-litre containers, and more is on its way.

Goodwill is decanting it into four-litre containers, selling them to businesses, industry, agencies, and just about anyone else who wants it.

“I feel like we are helping our community in a crisis,” said Hasan Habash, vice-president of operations with Goodwill Industries.

“The fact we can help an employer to keep working and provide an essential product to help flatten the curve and potential reduce cases, we are glad to be part of it.”
