Topeka innovation success stories
Topeka is made up of doers – innovators who see a problem as just another challenge to overcome.

They have retooled their factories to create hand sanitizers and masks, while others are sourcing 3D blueprints to print masks from home. These stories are those of people looking out for each other.
