PPE JDM: Nissan to Make Face Shields for Japan Healthworkers 

Nissan Faceshield

Japan automaker Nissan announced that they have started creating face shields for health care workers in Japan to boost the move against the dreaded coronavirus (Covid-19). 

Such initiative is eyeing to produce 2,500 shields a month. Production will start this month at the Nissan Technical Center, the Nissan Research Center, and the company’s Yokohama Plant.

Aside from that, Nissan is studying ways to support companies that manufacture ventilators and artificial heart-lung machines.

The said move is in response to a request from the Japanese government.

According to them, Nissan plans to help these producers by proposing improvements to manufacturing procedures, providing working space or manpower to help companies step up production, and supplying parts that are in shortage.

Nissan has already started similar initiatives in other regions. In the US, the company is making protective face shields for health care workers in Michigan, Mississippi and Tennessee. 

In UK, a team of volunteers from the Nissan Sunderland Plant have been supporting the delivery of protective face shields. 

More than 77,000 shields will leave the plant by the end of this week, and from next week, up to 100,000 shields will be distributed weekly. 

Nissan provided additional funds for an injection molding tool that greatly increases the number of shields produced.

Meanwhile Nissan in Spain is started producing medical respirators in collaboration with Hospital de Sant Pau, the engineering company QEV Technologies and the Eurecat Technology Center. Manufacturing of the respirators will begin this week at Nissan’s Powertrain Plant in Barcelona.

The Nissan group will continue efforts to support measures against the spread of Covid-19, leveraging expertise gained through vehicle engineering and production, using existing assets, and cooperating with governments and related parties in each country.
