As the situation changes at a rapid pace, we feel obligated to communicate to you the efforts Spirka Schnellflechter GmbH has instituted to protect our team members and their efforts to support you, our valued customers, with the product and services you need to achieve your business goals. Spirka Schnellflechter GmBH has instituted several temporary policies effective immediately:

• Suspension of all international travel until further notice

• Limited all domestic travel to instances of critical need

• Visitors to our facility are limited to deliveries of essential supplies and services and meetings of critical need. All other visits require approval in advance.

• Team members are being asked to strongly consider conducting all customer and supplier meetings and training via telephone whenever possible

Our supply chains continue to report stable conditions for raw materials within their networks. We will continue to monitor and adjust as this situation changes. We are committed to continue to implement policy changes as needed to protect the health and safety of our team members, while realizing the importance of servicing your critical production needs.
