Cosmos Corporation (Tropiclean) Converts Production lines to develop hand sanitizer
Cosmos Corporation – a global leader in pet health and wellness products – announced it has retrofitted current product lines to produce hand sanitizer for the St. Louis area and bi-state region, addressing shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
After Cosmos employees noted the lack of hand sanitizer products available in St. Louis-area stores, company leadership approved the production of hand sanitizer to meet a growing need in the local community and keep people employed during these challenging times.
In an unprecedented 10 days, Cosmos built a new production line at its Wentzville manufacturing facility dedicated solely to the production of hand sanitizer. The new line started operating and producing hand sanitizer on April 3, with three shifts daily allowing the line to operate 24 hours a day, including weekends, to help address demand.
