Harkness Screens, the screen technology company specialising in design and manufacture of cinema projection screens and supporting technologies, has decided to use its manufacturing units to provide durable and protective clothing and equipment for those on the frontline fighting COVID-19.
Harkness Screens has factories in the United States of America, UK, France, India and China.
The company has prototype designs of medical curtains and heavy-duty PVC aprons using the PVC usually used to create a movie theatre’s silver screen. These could be rolled out into a number of different environments, such as fast food, hotels, restaurants and supermarkets.
The company is also currently developing other ideas that could help commercial industries maintain high standards of health and safety, both during and post the COVID-19 pandemic.
