Retail-Focused Safety Shields

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Peregrine Will Install Plexiglass Shields as Stores Re-Open

— June 10, 2020 — Business
Vancouver-based retailer Peregrine is a leader in restaurant environment design and manufacturing, having worked alongside top food brands from around the globe. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and global re-opening efforts, businesses are re-prioritizing safety with increased measures that include physical barriers allowing for contact-less checkout transactions.

Peregrine is looking to make re-opening transitions more seamless for its partners with increased production of plexiglass shields that protect retail staff and consumers from bacteria while also creating a physical distancing barrier. “We are seeing a second wave of demand from retailers, hotels, and restaurants that will be reopening with the easing of restrictions. Based on our research of other parts of the world that are ahead of us, we expect part of their reopening strategy will include plexiglass shields strategically placed to protect staff and customers,” said Peregrine President Brian French about the company's latest manufacturing focus.
