In today’s world, workplace safety has rarely been as important as right now. Covid-19 threatens not just human health but the entire systems we have built. These are unprecedented times, with profound economic consequences. Businesses need all the help they can get. Luckily, GoatThroat Pumps is always on hand. Its proprietary pumping system already helps to make the workplace safer, preventing spills of toxic chemicals. Now, the Milford, Connecticut-based company is turning its attention to helping the frontlines of the battle against the novel coronavirus, with a range of pumps that dispense critical disinfectants safely and precisely.

GoatThroat is seen by the U.S. government as an essential business, so it has stayed open throughout the fight against Covid-19. Nancy Westcott, the Company President of GoatThroat Pumps says, “At our assembly facility and sales facility we’ve had the CDC and WHO recommended sanitization procedures in place for the past two or three years, so that made it really, really easy for us. We just had to add masks.”

GoatThroat Pumps’ ability to stay open has helped some of America’s top companies continue to manufacture vital Personal Protective Equipment, including masks. One of those is 3M, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of safety equipment. It use GoatThroat Pumps in their facilities across the US to safely dispense the disinfectant isopropyl alcohol.

In March, a decision by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to allow isopropyl alcohol bottles and bags to be refilled gave businesses another reason to purchase a GoatThroat Pump. The company offers refill stations which can be used to safely dispense more than 275 different disinfectants.

Lee Gesick, of SMP International LLC, is a new GoatThroat customer. His business makes alcohol wipes for disinfecting and industrial cleaning. He says: “Over the course of the last three months with the GoatThroat Pump we’ve filled nearly 70,000 bags and canisters. I’ve been in the chemical business for 21 years. I wish I’d known about these pumps back then because it would have made transferring chemicals a lot easier and saved a lot of messes. It’s simple to use, low cost and very effective. The technology works exactly as advertised, it did exactly what I wanted it to do. Where GoatThroat Pumps have exceeded expectations is in the support I’ve received when I had questions about the product or application use.”  (companion video to  come)

Many major laboratories and sanitation companies also use GoatThroat Pumps to ensure quick, easy and effective sterilization. Quip Laboratories’ new biosafety division  created a GT based filling station with a 275 gallon IBC tote to fill hundreds of bottles and carboys for it customers . While United Site Services, the largest sanitation company in the US, uses GoatThroat Pumps in many of its facilities.

In the words of the Company President, Nancy Westcott, “United Site Services wanted refill stations. They have thousands and thousands of customers who need their sanitizer bags and bottles refilled. So we gave them everything they asked for. But we’re not just working with major companies. Our Covid-19 refill stations have helped all kinds of businesses, in the U.S. and abroad, stay open.”

The company is also putting its good fortune to good use. GoatThroat Pumps has increased its support of Milford Food 2 Kids during the Covid 19 crisis. The charity feeds local children who would otherwise go without when they are not at school.
