Mid-Plains Industries Makes Protective Shields for Retailers

In an effort to assist small businesses, which make up 99% of the economy, Mid-Plains Industries (midplainsind.com) based in Columbus, NE, is making portable plastic shields for retail workers: Protek-Shield. The shields are portable and provide a semi-permanent barrier between face-to-face interactions.

“Our retail businesses are looking for ways to stay open and we wanted to find a way to help protect their employees,” said President and CEO Brian Turner. “The shields also give peace of mind to customers who are also cautions about public interactions, yet who still need to go to the store for supplies.”

Protek-Shields are made with a 16ga stainless steel frame and a 1/16-inch plexiglass shield. They come in widths of 24” or 36”. Popular uses for them include gas stations, convenience stores, banks, retail stores, and any business that has face-to-face interactions with customers.

Mid-Plains Industries is a division of Central Confinement Service LLC and serves a large variety of manufactures including food processors, agricultural, pharmaceutical, automotive, and other industries. They provide everything from simple parts to complex weldments straight to shelf or assembly line.
