Every day, Pure Michigan Business Connect (PMBC) helps connect Michigan suppliers of goods and services with local, domestic and global buyers, based on demand and procurement needs. PMBC's COVID-19 Procurement Program connects those businesses in need of non-medical grade personal protection equipment (PPE) - to keep their employees and customers safe as they begin resuming in-person operations - with Michigan businesses that have supplier capacity to meet that demand. The portal is open to companies of all sizes and industries and is available for all scales of PPE demand.

Michigan boasts a proud reputation for its innovative spirit, and for stepping up when the chips are down. Read about how Michigan’s manufacturers pivoted to meet the demands for essential PPE as the state worked to combat the spread of COVID-19.
