Sharpsville Container is doing its part in the fight against COVID-19, as researchers race against time to produce a vaccine against a relentless pandemic that has so far claimed the lives of more than one million people worldwide.

The company has a long history of manufacturing and fabricating various types of metal containers for customers in the chemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and compressed gas markets.

The company was contracted by a customer in the chemicals industry to manufacture vessels to hold and transport pure alcohol. The alcohol will be used to sanitize and remove contaminants during the production of the vaccine.
