A Danbury company facing a drought in its business has shifted to a new model that's not only helping them stay afloat, but could very well be saving lives.
Enhance a Colour owner Jim O'Connor says normally his factory produces visual displays for Broadway and trade shows. But now, the company's sole focus is creating as many face shields as possible.
O'Connor says they're able to make 75,000 masks per week, helping equip Connecticut and New York hospitals with necessary PPE.
O'Connor says he doesn't see the need for face shields diminishing anytime soon, and his business has always been about making what the client needs.
