In three short months, the Coronavirus has spread across the world affecting businesses in all industries and all demographics. At Bodine Electric Company, we have multiple facilities in United States, as well as a subsidiary operation in Suzhou, China \u2013 all of which have been fortunate in not having any severe impacts due to the spread of the Coronavirus up to now, yet the situation is likely to change daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As more states continue to issue orders that close non-essential\nbusinesses, we want to let you know that Bodine Electric Company is\noperating as close to normal as circumstances permit. As a valued supplier\nof gearmotors, motors and electronic control products to critical\ninfrastructure industries such as healthcare, lab equipment, restaurant\nequipment, warehouse operations and energy production, we understand it is\nvital to keep supply chains in operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your business is viewed as \u201cessential\u201d or part of the \u201ccritical\nInfrastructure sectors\u201d we would greatly appreciate a letter affirming Bodine\nElectric Company as an essential supplier to your business. This will also\nallow us to prioritize our resources to meet the needs of those essential industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we keep operations running, we maintain the health and\nsafety of all employees as a top priority. We have enabled remote working where\npossible and as technology allows. In areas where remote working is not\npossible, such as the manufacturing floor, we are utilizing best practice\nguidelines from the CDC and OSHA to implement appropriate policies and\nprocedures such as social distancing and focus on improved hygiene and\nenvironmental cleaning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We realize that this situation is a dynamic one and subject to\nconstant change.  At this point our\nmitigation efforts and advance planning activities appear to be working and we\nforesee only minor impact on our customers in terms of meeting their demand for\nBodine Electric products.  Those matters\nthat may be impacted include the following: \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
