Dear Customer:
Thank you for your concerns about our ongoing preparedness and response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Voigt & Schweitzer LLC and Subsidiaries’ (V&S) Continuity Plan considers a wide range of possible business disruptions, including pandemic scenarios which may affect our employees, and the ability to service our customers. Precautionary measures have been implemented company-wide with the aim of preventing the spread of germs, preparing our facilities for possible disruptions, and mitigating any impacts on customer deliveries.
Status of our operations
At this time, V&S is operating all of its facilities in the ordinary course. We are closely monitoring the guidance of each jurisdiction we operate in, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), and we are aligning our activities with their advice. Corporately we are monitoring and accessing developments and we are also in regular contact with local authorities to ensure an understanding of the full range of responsive steps being taken. If the status of our operations changes in a way that affects our customers, we will proactively communicate this. Many of our products and customer’s products fall under critical infrastructure classifications, allowing us to continue to operate. Please work with your sales contacts directly as this situation evolves and if you have any additional questions or anticipate changes to your operational status.
Measures we are taking
To date, actions taken range from focused communications on hygiene and preparedness, social distancing to minimize contact, eliminating noncritical travel, limiting site access to only essential personnel, and increased cleaning and disinfection to interrupt potential COVID-19 transmission routes. We continue to gauge the progression of this outbreak and will adjust our actions as appropriate.
Thank you for your continued business and support!
Sincerely,
Brian Miller
CEO / President
