If you are interested or in the midst of switching from making cars, beverages, apparel or cosmetics to producing medical equipment and supplies, masks or hand sanitizer, Lakeside can help you with the transition.

Pivoting Manufacturing priorities can involve sharing and re-training your workforce, re-tooling, coordinating and re-purposing equipment, and machinery utilization. These changes are happening within days; efforts that would otherwise take months.
