MONROE, WA (November 10, 2020) — As businesses across all industries struggle under the weight of COVID-19, Monroe, Washington-based A&I Manufacturing has pivoted from window treatments to workspace protection in hopes of outfitting fellow business owners across the nation for the future of the pandemic.
Unlike cumbersome plexiglass barriers on the market, WorkSpace SHIELD is constructed of ultra-durable PVC and designed for minimal intrusion in the work environment. The SHIELD is available in three efficient configurations that help block the spread of germs: stationary, manual-retractable, and motorized/remote controlled.
“This virus has created a ‘current normal’ for businesses that isn’t going away quickly and quietly,” said Mike DeGraff, owner of A&I Manufacturing. “WorkSpace Shield is us taking a proactive approach to this pandemic, and doing our part to help businesses by giving them a tool that provides sustainable workspace protection; one that allows them to continue fostering important customer relationships and interactions in a safer, healthier environment.”
A&I Manufacturing, who celebrate 25 years as a family-owned and operated business this year, are the last independent fabricators of custom window treatments in the Pacific Northwest; one of few left in the United States.
David Keegan, National Architectural Sales Manager for A&I Manufacturing, said their attentiveness to their customers as a family-owned business is exactly the reason why they are known as an industry leader in their region.
“And as we venture for the first time into a much larger national market with WorkSpace Shield,” Keegan said, “what better reputation, what greater set of values and principles to take with us than empathy for our fellow businesses and a desire to help them create a safer workspace?”
About A&I Manufacturing: Nearly three decades ago, A&I Manufacturing was created as the solution to a problem no one else was solving. In 1995, they were founded on the idea that a local, family-owned company could challenge the status quo of custom window treatments in North America. As the last independent fabricator in the Pacific Northwest, A&I Manufacturing provides the quality, speed, and attention to detail lacking with big box retailers.
About WorkSpace SHIELD™: WorkSpace SHIELD, powered by A&I Manufacturing, is an easy-to-install, ultra-durable PVC barrier providing sustainable workspace protection by helping block the spread of germs. WorkSpace SHIELD offers proven durability, ease-of-installation, and touch-free safety, allowing business to be conducted personably while providing a safe environment for workers and customers.
