Clearwater medical manufacturer in national spotlight
November 19, 2020 - Sen. Marco Rubio named Boyd Industries of Clearwater as the U.S. Senate Small Business of the Week. Boyd Industries manufactures custom medical and dental furniture and pioneered the lounge-style dentistry chair that’s now a standard feature in dental offices nationwide, Rubio said in news release. The company manufactures nearly all the components used to build its products at its factory in Clearwater. In April, Boyd Industries was approved for a Paycheck Protection Program loan, allowing the company to keep 77 workers on the payroll, Rubio said. Rubio is a Florida Republican who chairs the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
