Eric Burg, President & CEO of Apple Rock, returns to the show to share how his business took a complete 180 degree turn when COVID-19 brought the event and tradeshow business to a screeching halt. As Eric watched all of his exhibits being taken down during a tradeshow in Las Vegas on March 4th, he knew the world was changing before his eyes. With a quick call to his CFO, the company took immediate action and pivoted into the PPE business. Today they produce everything from isolation gowns, face shields and masks, and personal protection barriers to FDA Registered and EUA approved COVID-19 Rapid Tests. If you look closely around Charlotte, you just might see our employees sporting their Roby Family of Companies gaiters thanks to Eric and his team!
