Description (French)
Le projet SWAB en réponse face à la COVID-19 a été lancé pour répondre à la demande urgente du gouvernement canadien d'aide des fabricants canadiens pour faire face aux pénuries immédiates de tampons de test et pour localiser la production de tampons de test afin d'éviter les problèmes d'approvisionnement sur une base régulière, mais surtout lors de futures pandémies. Papp Plastics exploite actuellement trois usines à Windsor, en Ontario. L'objectif du projet est de transformer une partie de l'une des usines existantes, qui était une usine de fabrication de pièces automobiles, en une usine de fabrication de tampons de test.
