June 02, 2020 —Web Industries Inc. has announced plans to hire approximately 125 skilled equipment operators, engineering personnel, bio scientists, quality assurance, purchasing and inventory specialists beginning immediately and continuing over the next three months at its Holliston, Mass., Lateral Flow Diagnostics Center of Excellence. A multi-million dollar investment in lateral flow immunoassay (LFI) product development and production equipment accompanies the hiring initiative.
The job opportunities come at a time when the Eastern Massachusetts region is suffering from employment challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Kevin Young, Web Industries vice president of the company’s Medical device manufacturing business, the decision to expand the plant’s human and physical resources is in response to burgeoning needs for COVID-19 test devices.
“The availability of COVID-19 tests is critical now because industry and governmental agencies need them to get the economy opened up and put healthy people back to work,” Young says. “The federal government estimates needs for about 1 million tests per day. Web has advanced manufacturing capabilities that will play a critical role in meeting that demand.”
Although the Holliston-based Center of Excellence has produced billions of medical and life science tests over the past 20 years, additional capacity and people are needed to achieve the scale necessary for current and future test production needs. Young notes that Web Industries is currently working with a number of companies that have developed COVID-19 tests and which are close to receiving FDA EUA (Emergency Use Authorization).
“We’ll be saving lives with the COVID-19 tests,” Young says. “We are investing millions in highly automated equipment to produce them. We need skilled people, and we need them now. Look for Web Industries to expedite qualified job seekers into its workforce.”

April 29, 2020 – Omega Systèmes, a Web Industries company, is responding to needs for personal protective equipment (PPE) in the Pays de la Loire region of France by producing and delivering 60,000 single-use, disposable aprons per day to local hospitals.
Single-use aprons are among the most needed PPE items in France, along with face masks and gowns. When Omega Systèmes was contacted by Nantes University Hospital in mid-April 2020 with a request for aprons, the company responded quickly.
“We produced prototype aprons for the Hospital’s review,” reports Web Industries Michael Quarrey, vice president of aerospace operations. “We put production into high gear immediately following the Hospital’s validation of our product. Omega currently has material to manufacture one million single-use aprons. With our materials supply chain and high-speed precision formatting equipment, we can quickly meet apron needs for hospitals and care facilities throughout France and other European countries.”
The polyethylene aprons are worn by nurses, doctors, medics and caretakers who meet with patients to examine and carry out treatments, such as taking temperatures or changing an IV line. They are delivered in protective plastic sheaths that meet Nantes University Hospital’s strict sanitary requirements.
Face masks and gowns In a related note, Quarrey says that Omega Systèmes is currently filling orders for more than 7.8 million face masks for other France-based customers, and is equipped to manufacture face masks and gowns for use in hospitals and health care facilities throughout Europe.
