Allen Organ Company is hitting a high note with the company’s response to COVID-19. The pandemic forced the iconic organ manufacturer to halt production on new organs.

Although Allen Organ also halted production of circuit boards for the high-tech instruments, the Lower Macungie Township-based firm accelerated manufacturing circuit boards for desperately-needed medical equipment.

To date, nearly 14,000 circuit boards have been manufactured since Allen ramped up production.

“The life-sustaining circuit boards are not only for medical equipment, but also required to produce PPE [Personal Protective Equipment],” says Allen Organ Company President Steven Markowitz.

“There is no plan to end this production,” Markowitz adds.

“Some of our assemblies’ customers have been supplying such products for years and will continue to do so,” says Markowitz.

Markowitz lamented that Allen Organ experienced a significant financial loss because of the pandemic.

Fortunately, organ production restarted when Lehigh County transitioned to the Yellow Phase June 8, when furloughed workers were recalled to the factory.

Allen Organ was founded in 1937 by Markowitz’s father, Jerome. The manufacturing facility is along Locust Street, while its international sales headquarters and Jerome Markowitz Memorial Center is at 3370 Route 100. The sales and memorial facilities are open by appointment only, with appropriate Green Phase protocol in effect.
