ELKRIDGE, Maryland (WJZ) – A Maryland-based company has changed its business to help fight Covid-19.
Moving from exhibiting for trade shows to quarantine rooms for covid patients, Agam is helping in every possible way in the fight against coronavirus.
When the pandemic hit, Agam Group Ltd., an Elkridge-based company that traditionally makes custom displays for trade shows, events, and retail spaces, found a new market.
“When COVID came, our industry was hit hard because people couldn’t travel and couldn’t gather in large groups,” said Adam Beckett, CEO of Agam Group Ltd. “So we switched immediately.”
That change occurred in the world of COVID-related products.
CORONAVIRUS RESOURCES:
“First, we provided temporary hospitals that were part of that initial need for the country,” Beckett said. “Since then, we have produced tens of thousands of hygienic barriers and have also created temporary quarantine rooms for schools in kindergarten through twelfth.”
With the approval of the first two vaccines they saw another way to help.
“When we started to listen to the distribution plans, what we didn’t hear is how the logistics would be handled on site, where people were getting vaccinated and we thought well, this is what we offer, we manufacture temporary structures,” added Beckett.
These structures can be installed, cleaned, disinfected quickly and can be scaled according to the needs of the operation.
“And this really followed suit with what we have been doing for the past 8 months to try to combat COVID,” he added.
Just one company doing everything it can to help fight this pandemic.
“What a great way to end this, but helping, helping, in a small but important way, helping vaccinate the country,” Beckett said.
Agam is currently working with several companies that will administer the vaccine so that they are ready when the general population can begin receiving the vaccine.
