Governor Brian P. Kemp announced Monday that a list and interactive map of Georgia companies that have signed up to help businesses obtain personal protective equipment and health care supplies to fight COVID-19 is now available.
The Georgia Suppliers Interactive Map and List, compiled by the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD), includes more than 220 Georgia companies providing needed protective supplies, along with an interactive map displaying business location and a tool to sort supplies by category.
“When we asked Georgia businesses to aid with needed supplies in our fight against COVID-19, they answered that call. I thank all of the hardworking Georgians and businesses who have made these supplies available,” said Governor Kemp. “We are all in this together, and this new resource will help Georgia companies source the supplies necessary for keeping their employees and customers safe, while remaining open for business.”
As the state continues to make progress in getting back to business, Georgia enterprises are encouraged to use this list and map as a free resource. Potential buyers are also reminded that they will need to do their own vetting of listed companies as they obtain needed supplies. Whether a restaurant, clothing boutique, manufacturing plant, or any of the many companies who get to call Georgia home, this unique resource will help businesses find supplies critical for keeping Georgians safe. At the same time, it will allow Georgia businesses to continue to support each other and keep valuable dollars in the state.
Serving as a liaison between the State of Georgia and the private sector, GDEcD’s Centers of Innovation division compiled this list alongside countless Georgia companies that pulled together, retooled their machines, and worked to provide the most critical goods and services for fighting COVID-19. The list remains dynamic, and new businesses will be added periodically.
“Our strong relationships across the state of Georgia have proven vital in the fight against COVID-19,” said GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. “Led by our Centers of Innovation, the Georgia Department of Economic Development has been proud to work across divisions to aid the state’s business community during COVID-19. Public-private partnerships continue to produce quality results, and I thank all of the companies who have stepped up to help their fellow Georgians by producing these critical supplies that will help keep us safe and get back to business.”
