As the largest dry-mill ethanol facility in the world, Marquis is well-positioned to supply the much-needed alcohol component needed in hand sanitizer.

“There is an immediate need for hand sanitizer throughout our nation to provide an instant virus-killing remedy for healthcare workers and the general public,” said Marquis CEO Mark Marquis. “Our team is working 24 hours per day, seven days a week to provide hand sanitizer to healthcare workers, police and fire departments and the general public to help protect them against the spread of the pandemic we face.”
