Dear Valued Clients, Business Partners, and Friends,
As the corona
virus (COVID-19) continues to affect our communities, we want to provide you with an update on how MWI is addressing this new reality. The well-being of our MWI family, including our team members, families, clients, vendors, and communities, remains our top priority. In line with this, MWI is adhering to the recommendations of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local authorities to help prevent the further spread of the virus and ensure the health and safety of our personnel.
Even during these unprecedented times, MWI is committed to providing essential services and products to our customers. Our investments in technology infrastructure over the past few years have positioned us well to continue operations in a decentralized manner, whether from home or other locations. We have also taken necessary steps to secure our raw material inventories for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, our five domestic manufacturing locations have built-in redundancy with engineers, machining capabilities, and purification resources. In the event that all domestic locations need to close, we have global contingency plans in place through our industry partners.
In addition to implementing remote working policies and contingency plans, we have implemented the following directives:
• All non-essential plant visitors have been eliminated. Inbound and outbound deliveries are considered essential.
• Social distancing measures have been implemented within our facilities.
• Enhanced cleaning procedures have been established.
• All business travel has been suspended.
• We have reinforced personal responsibilities regarding hygiene and health practices.
Please note that these directives do not override any federal, state, or local mandates. If you have any questions, please reach out to your MWI representative.
We are prepared to make real-time decisions to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 as the situation evolves rapidly. Together, we will navigate through this pandemic.
Wishing you and your loved ones continued safety,
MWI Executive Management
