Wurm’s Woodworking Expansion, Harm Reduction Vending Machines, Report

Wurm’s Woodworking announces $2 million expansion

NEW WASHINGTON — Wurm’s Woodworking Company (WWC) has expanded its thermoforming operations. The expansion includes nearly 20,000 square feet of additional space, a significant capital investment in cutting-edge molding machinery and equipment, totaling $2.1 million. The company retained all 47 employees throughout the expansion project.

Co-owner Rick Wurm said the investment allows the company to significantly increase the efficiency of its production of plastic and vinyl interiors. A new plastics production building was added to improve operational efficiency by reconfiguring the layout of the entire production line while making room for future growth in other departments within the company.

To further enhance its competitive advantage, WWC has invested heavily in state-of-the-art equipment. The company has acquired a cutting-edge thermoforming machine that will play a key role in increasing production of seamless vinyl upholstery used in the golf cart seating industry. Additionally, the purchase of a fully automated industrial 3D printer will allow the company to diversify its products and expand its product range.

Harm reduction vending machines now available at Bucyrus and Galion hospitals

Crawford County Public Health is partnering with Avita Health System to provide harm reduction vending machines outside the emergency department entrances at Bucyrus and Galion hospitals.

The process is simple – just select the item’s code, just like you would with a standard drink or snack vending machine. No additional information is required.

The machines at Bucyrus and Galion hospitals were installed on October 17. In the first week, 900 products were distributed free to community members, including 199 naloxone, 302 fentanyl test strips, 236 male condoms, 67 female condoms and 96 home condoms. COVID-19 test kits.

Harm-reduced vending machines can help reduce drug overdose deaths and reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, HIV, hepatitis C, sexually transmitted infections and more. Since the first one was introduced in Denmark in 1987, they have been used in other countries. They were introduced in the United States in 2017, and their prevalence has increased as the overdose crisis has worsened over the past few years.

The machine in Crawford County is funded by a drug overdose prevention grant and maintained by the DAWN program. Crawford County Public Health will stock vending machines every day Monday through Friday, but product availability cannot be guaranteed.
