FROM DRUMHEAD TO FACE SHIELD

Today, D'Addario is underway in engineering and manufacturing face shields to help alleviate the dire shortage of protective gear for New York and the world's healthcare workers.

Even before our factories were closed, D’Addario immediately began devising a way to use its resources to support the global response to COVID-19. Our team of engineers quickly learned how to fabricate protective face shields using the clear film from Evans G2 drumheads. In only three days, we developed the first prototype. Using our FDA approved Dynatomy brand, we will be mass-producing the Dynatomy face shield in the Evans drumhead facility, which the NYSEDC approved to stay open.
