Artemis Plastics to Open Ocala Facility Focused on COVID-19 Test Kit Production

The Ocala/Marion County Chamber & Economic Partnership (CEP) is pleased to join the City of Ocala, Marion County, and
CareerSource CLM to announce Project Test, a second manufacturing facility of Artemis Plastics, fully dedicated to manufacturing medical devices focusing initially on
COVID-19 testing kits.

The facility is 30,000 square feet and located in the Ocala InternationalCommerce Park. It has the capacity to make one million test kits monthly, with a goal to
ramp up to one million test kits per week. Artemis Plastics has increasingly produced medical-related products over the past five years and is equipped to meet the demand
for COVID-19 test kits.

“I am delighted to say Artemis Plastics, LLC has acquired a new manufacturing space in Ocala,” said Gary Mishkin, CEO of Artemis Plastics, “In this new facility, we will
be assembling COVID-19 rapid test kits, as well as other medical device-related projects. We project the need for as many as 100 operators in order to reach our
production goals. I would like to thank everyone at the CEP for their support, guidance and encouragement, and I look forward to further collaboration as we continue to grow."

Artemis Plastics will manage injection molding, assembly, pouching, and distribution of the test kits manufactured at the new location.

“One of the primary goals of the CEP and local leadership is to build a diverse, robust local economy,” said Angie Lewis, CEP Board Chair. “Artemis is already a great
corporate citizen and the addition of this second facility focused on manufacturing medical products especially to fight this pandemic just further advances the goals of our
community.”
