US Government Orders 160,000 HazMat Suits
 

Lakeland Industries, Inc. (LAKE), a leading global manufacturer of industrial protective clothing for industry, municipalities, healthcare and to first responders on the federal, state and local levels, today announced the global availability of its protective apparel for use in handling the Ebola virus. In response to the increasing demand for specialty protective suits to be worm by healthcare workers and others being exposed to Ebola, Lakeland is increasing its manufacturing capacity for these garments and includes proprietary processes for specialized seam sealing, a far superior technology for protecting against viral hazards than non-sealed products.

"Lakeland stands ready to join the fight against the spread of Ebola," said Christopher J. Ryan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lakeland Industries. "We understand the difficulty of getting appropriate products through a procurement system that in times of crisis favors availability over specification, and we hope our added capacity will help alleviate that problem. With the U.S. State Department alone putting out a bid for 160,000 suits, we encourage all protective apparel companies to increase their manufacturing capacity for sealed seam garments so that our industry can do its part in addressing this threat to global health.

Do the math. There are thirty thousand cities in the United States. That breaks down to five suits per city.

Of course they are. If they don't and it spreads, they will be ill prepared to deal with it.

Honestly, this is all playing out like a movie. Can't believe they sent the dude home from the hospital. Just... wow.

160k x 1,2k = 192 000 000$ deal, nice job done!

Raccoon city... SOON :party-smi

Right, I'm sure they paid full retail on 160k suits

You are right, they probably did not pay retail but instead paid double the retail price. That is how cronyism works.

I cant believe an airplane left Africa and went to the US.
