Adpol Recognised for Ventilator Challenge UK Work

During the height of the pandemic adpol extrusion lines were working hard to produce Kilometres of tubing for urgent production of Ventilators working as part of the Ventilator Challenge UK Consortium.

Working on a 48hr production lead time, and short staffed the production team did a fantastic job, and it was nice to be recognised for our efforts recently with the certificate below.

To us what really stands out is that we still have a quality and professional manufacturing core in the UK that can achieve great things, and do not need to be dependent on anyone.

Lets support our Great British Manufacturing base and local businesses generally, especially during these tough times.
