## [Four Areas Mueller Is Focusing on to Get Back to Business Post-COVID-19](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/get-back-to-business-post-covid)

![](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Google%20Drive%20Integration/Four%20Areas%20Mueller%20Is%20Focusing%20on%20to%20Get%20Back%20to%20Business%20Post-COVID-19-1.jpeg?width=510&name=Four%20Areas%20Mueller%20Is%20Focusing%20on%20to%20Get%20Back%20to%20Business%20Post-COVID-19-1.jpeg)

By now, it’s clear COVID-19 isn’t going away anytime soon.

After months of staying home and trying to flatten the curve, it’s time for students to get back into the classroom and companies to bring back workers to [do business](https://blog.muellercustomcut.com/diverse-business-flexibility-pandemic).

At Mueller, we are closely following the recommendations of the CDC to ensure we are doing everything in our power to provide a hygienic and safe work environment for our employees.

## [Why Businesses and Schools Need PPE to Reopen in the COVID-19 Era](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/rebuilding-business-after-covid-19)

![](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Google%20Drive%20Integration/Why%20Businesses%20and%20Schools%20Need%20PPE%20to%20Reopen%20in%20the%20COVID-19%20Era-1.jpeg?width=510&name=Why%20Businesses%20and%20Schools%20Need%20PPE%20to%20Reopen%20in%20the%20COVID-19%20Era-1.jpeg)

As schools and businesses work to get their students and employees back inside buildings, there’s growing concern these facilities may have to close again if there are new outbreaks of the coronavirus.

There’s good reason to worry. We’ve already seen it happen.

## [Why Do School Workers, Teachers, and Students Need PPE?](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/ppe-in-classrooms-face-shields)

![](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Google%20Drive%20Integration/Making%20Sense%20of%20the%20New%20Norm%20PPE%20in%20Classrooms%20%5BMueller%20blog%5D-1.jpeg?width=510&name=Making%20Sense%20of%20the%20New%20Norm%20PPE%20in%20Classrooms%20%5BMueller%20blog%5D-1.jpeg)

Going back to school has never been so complicated.

As leaders continue to make decisions about sending students and teachers into classrooms again, they are considering a wide range of precautions in the hopes of preventing the spread of disease.

## [How to Make a Disaster Recovery Plan and Why Your Business Needs One](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/business-disaster-recovery-plan)

![](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Making%20a%20Disaster%20Recovery%20Plan%20-%20How%20%26%20Why%20%5BDRAFT%5D.jpeg?width=510&name=Making%20a%20Disaster%20Recovery%20Plan%20-%20How%20&%20Why%20%5BDRAFT%5D.jpeg)

Ready? Set? Pivot!

Once the reality of the COVID-19 outbreak set in, governments, businesses, and schools were forced to find new directions. However, no one really had an “in case of pandemic, break glass” box in their office.

## [How Shifting to Domestic Material Sourcing Puts You In Control](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/shifting-to-domestic-material-sourcing)

![](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Transition%20Into%20Buying%20More%20From%20Domestic%20Manufacturers-1.jpeg?width=510&name=The%20Transition%20Into%20Buying%20More%20From%20Domestic%20Manufacturers-1.jpeg)

We’ve learned a lot from the COVID-19 outbreak so far.

Our need for face-to-face interaction with family and friends is substantial. The number of times we touch our faces every day is absurd. How much we [rely on imported materials](http://exclusive.multibriefs.com/content/covid-19-reveals-the-value-of-domestic-manufacturing/business-management-services-risk-management) is frightening.

The global pandemic has put a serious strain on our economy and disrupted the way we do business. It’s vital to support U.S. companies now more than ever.

## [Why Mueller Is Shifting Focus to Make Face Shields](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/shifting-focus-face-shields)

![](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20200406_%20(3).jpg?width=510&name=20200406_%20(3).jpg)

As lives are lost, routines are disrupted, and priorities are shifted, we at Mueller have found ourselves in a unique position to pitch in during this turbulent time.

We want to contribute to the effort to help first responders shield themselves in their dauntless attempts to treat patients. We also know you want to do your part in providing for medical professionals who are in dire need of personal protective equipment (PPE).

## [How & Why Mueller is Creating Face Shields](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/face-shields-protection)

![](https://blog.cohesivecomponents.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20200406_.jpg?width=510&name=20200406_.jpg)

People are in need of face shields more than ever. That’s why we’re ramping up our production of PRO-SHIELD 1 here at Mueller.

We’ll explain what a face shield is (they are not the same as [surgical face masks and respirators](https://www.healthline.com/health/coronavirus-mask)), Mueller’s experience creating them, and an introduction to the face shield we’re creating to help those in need.
