- Britain has ordered more than 10,000 ventilators from a consortium that includes Formula One (NASDAQ:FWONA), Airbus (OTCPK:EADSY), BAE Systems (OTCPK:BAESY) and Ford (NYSE:F), as well as existing ventilator producers, Smiths Group (OTCPK:SMGZY) and Penlon.
- Vacuum cleaner maker Dyson said last week it had received an order of a newly-made ventilator which will need to be approved by the health regulator.
- The U.K., which says it needs 30,000 ventilators, currently has about 8,000 machines with another 8,000 on order from international manufacturers that are due in coming weeks.
