ExxonMobil facilities in Baton Rouge are modifying production lines to make medical grade hand sanitizer.
Exxon announced today they are donating 160,000 gallons of hand sanitizer to medical professionals and first responders, enough to fill about five million four-ounce bottles.
“The ingenuity and dedication of our employees to develop a consumer-ready product in record time demonstrates ExxonMobil’s commitment to help those in need during the global pandemic,” said Darren Woods, chairman and chief executive officer of Exxon Mobil Corporation. “We’re focused on keeping our people and communities safe while supporting frontline responders and meeting customer needs.”
The first round will be sent to locations in Louisiana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.
“To stand up an entirely new process and supply chain in a matter of weeks, while maintaining ExxonMobil’s high standards for safety and quality and in compliance with FDA requirements is truly remarkable,” said Karen McKee, president of ExxonMobil Chemical Company.
