Most of the businesses that popped up almost overnight to cut and install barriers are now defunct, Ngo said.Today, Sixstream is back to almost exclusively making signs out of acrylic, with the remaining barrier work involving maintenance or other followup work.The switch back was also smoothed for companies that not only had a dedicated market before the pandemic, but also had established sources of material that could be used for both COVID and non-COVID purposes.
Burnaby outdoor gear maker Mustang Survival also pivoted to pandemic-related production in 2020, converting production lines to make medical gowns. Like Sixstream and Mad Lab, Mustang did not overproduce in anticipation of demand that never materialized. “We joked at one point about having a medical products division going forward,” said Heel. “If the opportunity had been there with more products, if Health Canada would be interested in doing it, it could have been quite easy just doing that going forward, but that didn’t come to fruition.”Mustang partnered with Arc’teryx and Boardroom Clothing for the gown-production project, making 9,000 a month between April and June 2020.
