Our Response to the Covid-19 Crisis.
Our Pledge.
We will make our FDA certified hand sanitizer available at normal prices. Our goal is to do our part and help as much as we are able to help combat this truly awful virus.
We’re confident that if we come together as a people and do our part, that we’ll pull through this together. We’ll do our part in making sure everyone pulls through.
Our Galva Facility was originally designed to produce Zein Protein from Corn to address the global problems of plastics polluting our environment and our oceans. However, when the Coronavirus Pandemic hit our nation, it became clear that basic products such as testing kits, medicines, masks and sanitizers were in short supply across the country.
True to our mission at GII, We made a decision to be part of the solution and do our part. We immediately decided to re-purpose the Galva Plant to produce ethanol based hand sanitizer on a large scale so we can make it available across the United States at an affordable price.
Working Together.
At that moment we reached out to U.S. Rep. LaHood and State Senate Chuck Weaver. They quickly worked with the Trump Administration and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) under the Department of the Treasury to expedite our request and it was ultimately approved in a matter of days. This is a wonderful example of government moving quickly to help the private sector move forward with solutions to solving hand sanitizer supply shortages”.
It’s about the people.
We thank the Late Mr. Ray Defenbaugh, the founding member and chairman of Big River Resources, LLC., Mr. Jim Leiting, CEO of Big River Resources LLC and the entire BRR team. We are grateful for their assistance. We look forward to do our part as we all are in it together in these tough times.
