August 12, 2022 – As a category leader in hand hygiene, sustainability, and manufacturing, GOJO is committed to being a resilient, trusted supplier. The family enterprise has recently activated a new manufacturing and supply chain strategy that will meet customers’ needs even during periods of high demand. By adding more than 3 million square feet of supply chain capacity, GOJO is ready to deliver trusted hand hygiene and surface disinfecting solutions to end-users and distributors.
During the pandemic, GOJO invested millions of dollars in increasing manufacturing abilities. Now, with significant increases to production and warehousing, the family enterprise is more robust and capable in all areas of the supply chain.
“We believe the world will forever be changed by the COVID-19 pandemic and we see this translating to a sustained increase in awareness of the importance of safe and effective hygiene practices,” said GOJO President and CEO, Carey Jaros. “This will result in ongoing, heightened demand for our essential PURELL® skincare and surface solutions. Our responsibility to keep the world healthy and well has never been greater. Expanding our manufacturing infrastructure is one of the many ways we are responding as the market leader in these challenging times.”
GOJO accomplished this by increasing access to raw materials and component supplies through established suppliers. Additionally, new creative partnerships ensured GOJO would maintain a steady supply of essential raw materials, including domestically made bottles. As a result of these enhancements, bottle capacity has doubled compared to 2019.
