HALIFAX—  United Sign in partnership with Symplicity Designs has pivoted its business to help serve the community by producing face shields for medical professionals. The Dartmouth-based United Sign, which has 18 employees, has found many larger suppliers were either closed or completely out of the materials needed to make the protective equipment.Protecting the frontline of our dedicated healthcare workers is at an all-time high, and we’re doing our part to ensure the safety of these heroes and those who are seeking medical attention. In response to the recent updates of COVID-19 and the impact it has had on the shortages of medical supplies, United Sign is proud to help  the healthcare community with alternative Protective Face Shields. United Signs has have made the first 2,000 of the 60,000 they hope to produce.
