Dear Valued Customer,
Like most companies, Buehler is monitoring the Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak closely. We communicate daily with the leaders at our facilities and vendors around the world to understand the current situation in each location. We provide support and information to our employees regarding the constantly changing COVID-19 outbreak.
Most importantly, Buehler and ITW follow closely and abide by all local laws and government mandates. Our experience in China has shown this to be the most effective strategy to efficiently bring our operations back to full capacity and minimize the impact to our customers.
The health and well-being of our employees continues to be our highest priority. We will reinforce the need to follow the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help minimize the risk of exposure to acute respiratory illnesses, such as staying home when sick, using proper cough and sneeze etiquette, and practicing good hand hygiene.
We have taken specific actions to reduce the risk to our employees, such as increasing the availability of hand sanitizer stations, increasing the cleaning frequency of common areas/surfaces, and restricting travel to/from impacted zones.
We will continue to monitor the situation and its impact on both our employees and our supply chain to ensure that we can support and keep you informed and supplied to the best of our abilities.
With kind regards,
Julien Noel
Vice President & General Manager
Buehler
