As hand sanitizer supplies quickly backordered during the COVID-19 crisis, Richmond, Va.’s GRTC needed to find a supplier quickly to refill dwindling inventory for essential employees. A Richmond Times-Dispatch news story about local businesses shifting production from spirits to sanitizer sparked a solution.
GRTC contacted Reservoir Distillery last week to place a recurring bulk order for their newly produced sanitizer. Just as sanitizer dispensers at GRTC’s headquarters emptied, reinforcements arrived from Reservoir Distillery, normally a bourbon whiskey producer in Scott’s Addition.
“Creative solutions like this are exciting,” said GRTC CEO Julie Timm. “Our essential employees need sanitizer at headquarters and in the field, and a local business benefits from our need. This is a win-win solution for both of us and I am proud of our Procurement Department’s ingenuity.”
