MANUFACTURING Technology eliminates most coronavirus, variants in one second Energy Harness Corporation’s Active Airflow UV-C technology has been proven in a series of laboratory tests to kill 99.998% of the virus that causes COVID-19 and variants, in just one second of exposure. With variants continuing to spread worldwide, the Active Airflow UVC-C Fixture provides one of the most effective defenses against the spread of the novel coronavirus. “It’s so significant because, unlike vaccines, it makes no difference if the virus morphs or adapts. This technology damages the organism at a molecular level, making it equally as effective regardless of the variant,” said Peter Lehrer, senior vice president for project development at Energy Harness.

And almost every one of those were only tested against virus surrogates,” explained Michael Fischer, president of Energy Harness Corporation. “With 99.998% effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2, our Active Airflow UV-C technology definitely outshines the competition.” In addition to its efficacy against coronavirus, Active Airflow UV-C technology is proven to be more than 99.9% effective against tuberculosis, pneumonia, influenza and other deadly pathogens. Energy Harness Active Airflow units can be found in schools, hospitals, outpatient centers, libraries and offices across the nation. The fixture is safe, quiet and is easily placed in a drop ceiling or wall-mounted, making it convenient to install in public spaces of any size or type. The fixture is available for distribution across North America. For more information, please visit energyharness.com/UVC.
MANUFACTURING
Norman Love expanding manufacturing space in Fort Myers Seagate Development Group is expanding packing, fulfillment and warehouse space for Norman Love Confections on Westlinks Drive in Fort Myers. This 19,200-square-foot facility will cover four units – two of which were once adjacent spaces occupied by other companies – to suit Norman Love’s future growth. The project scope includes electrical, plumbing, mechanical and HVAC components. The Seagate team
is working on refrigeration equipment via demolition, metal framing and drywall, restaurant-kitchen-grade ceilings and the reconfiguration of fire sprinklers, among other details. Crews will dedicate the last few weeks of the expansion to insulation, drywall, flooring, finishes and inspections. These factory-style units are projected to be complete next month – ahead of schedule and just in time for
the beginning of Norman Love’s Christmas production. “Norman has such a profound influence on Southwest Florida and many other areas. We’ll always be proud to help him do business – from the movement of equipment to increased storage space and labor efficiency,” said Matt Price, CEO and partner at Seagate Development Group. “Relationships like that are the cornerstone of this company.”
