"This partnership with Carlos Camacho and Ecoshell, paired with our combined expertise in manufacturing, logistics and finance, strengthens our goal to be recognized as the world's most trusted and reliable supplier of PPE," said Brent Skoda, Chairman and Co-Founder of Urgent Response Network. "The Ecoshell partnership brings an additional 125 personnel to our PPE solution and allows us to build out substantial teams in sales, sourcing, quality control, legal, regulatory compliance and customs, on the ground in Mexico."

Urgent Response Network is working to assist governments, health systems and businesses gain access to critical medical supplies amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
