When the pandemic forced Vinny Antonio to temporarily close his national events-staffing company, he quickly pivoted and launched a firm that helps businesses and events reopen safely. Disinfect Group USA provides mobile disinfection units and sanitizing tunnels that let employees return to their offices, sports fans cheer inside arenas and customers shop at familiar neighborhood businesses. For example, a sporting event or concert could process thousands of people through disinfection tunnels positioned at the entrance of a stadium or convention center. A restaurant or shop can install a panel at the entrance to monitor employee and patrons’ body temperatures and spray disinfectant onto their hands before they enter an establishment. Antonio’s Victory Marketing business was one of Florida’s fastest-growing companies and ranked in the Inc. 5000 before COVID-19, according to a news release. Disinfect Group is a Belgian company and Antonio purchased the license in March. All the equipment and product is manufactured and assembled in the U.S. For more information, visit disinfectgroupusa.com.
