This holiday season, we are pleased to be donating a box of 50 Face Shields, each with 10 replaceable plastic guards, to 10 lucky Colorado organizations in need. Get the details and help us reach the folks who need free PPE most.
Foundations of Leadership
We’ll be (virtually) attending the first session of CBSA’s Foundation of Leadership workshop this week. Can’t wait to explore the characteristics of leaders vs. managers, and discuss when and how to leverage the strengths of each role.
We are Growing
It’s an exciting time at PLS. In addition to several job openings for experienced engineers with medical manufacturing knowledge, our recently completed facility build-out nearly tripled Prospect’s production, manufacturing and cleanroom space. Construction of the new space was under way before the pandemic hit. Still, having 17,000 square feet of space makes it easy to comply with 6-foot distancing recommendations and provide a safe working environment. An extra special feature? The beautiful barn door was built by our talented VP of Quality Assurance, Karl Steineck.

Learning at MD&M West
Kristina and Susan went to this year’s Medical Design & Manufacturing conference and trade show in Anaheim, CA and they are thrilled to bring back some cool ideas for new medical device implementation. Meeting with vendors and hands on interaction with some of the “latest and greatest” tools and gadgets were definitely highlights of the trip.
Great vision for 2020.
2020 is looking to be an amazing year at PLS. Having kicked it off with a new website, we’re also anticipating the first quarter launch of exciting new products from our clients, adding 8,000 square feet of manufacturing space, and growing our engineering, quality assurance, and production teams. Stay tuned.
